Aaron Judge has called for the wobbling New York Yankees to show ‘more urgency in the dugout’ after they lost 5-2 to the Blue Jays on Saturday night.
The result means Yankees have lost nine of the last 11 games and have scored just 21 runs – with eight of those coming in Wednesday’s win over Tampa Bay Rays.
Judge, who hit a pair of in-field singles in Saturday’s loss, wants to feel a bit more togetherness in the Yankees roster.

‘Just gotta have a little better energy in the dugout and push each other a little bit,’ Judge said, according to The New York Post.
‘We’re just missing that a little bit right now. We gotta come out and bring it.’
Yankees are back in action on Sunday against Toronto Blue Jays.
Judge continued: ‘When we’re rolling, everyone’s in on every single at-bat and everybody’s pushing each other. We’re missing a little bit of that right now.
‘Some of the stuff I’m seeing is just individual at-bats instead of team at-bats.

‘Once we turn that around, we’ll be right back where we need to be.’
Judge also cooled fears he had hurt his shoulder making a catch in the second inning against the Blue Jays. He ran back and took to ball but went shoulder first into the wall.
The 30-year-old Judge said he was fine and ready to play Sunday.
