The star outfielder will likely win his second AL MVP award in three years after batting .322/.458/.701 with 58 home runs during an incredible regular season. However, his postseason struggles have persisted into the World Series. Judge has struck out three times in each of New York's two road losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old outfielder is now batting .150 with two home runs and 19 punchouts in 50 postseason playoff appearances. Down 2-0 with the Fall Classic heading back to the Bronx, the Yankees are running out of time for Judge to snap out of his funk. Former Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez suggested a lineup tweak for Game 3. Following Saturday's 4-2 loss at Dodger Stadium, Rodriguez said on the <a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1850386791913664897" rel="nofollow"> FOX post-game show </a> that he'd flip Judge with Juan Soto in the batting order to&nbsp;"jump-start Judge a little bit." He explained why he'd move Judge from third to second behind Gleyber Torres. "You're desperate for runs. You're desperate to activate the big man," Rodriguez said. "Bottom line is, fellas: It’s getting late early, OK. And if Judge doesn’t get started, it’s gonna be a short series. So you're desperate. Why not have their hottest hitter protect Judge, and then you split, you can create a matchup problem for the bullpen?" <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0gkHGd_0wOSqCjB00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0gkHGd_0wOSqCjB00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>NEW YORK, NY - MAY 08: Sports commentator and former professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez takes part in a panel during WSJ's The Future of Everything Festival at Spring Studios on May 8, 2018 in New York City.

Yankees fans often grumbled about the three-time MVP not performing up to his elite standards during the postseason. Rodriguez ended his career with a solid .822 OPS through 76 playoff games, but he went 7-of-44 with one home run and 15 strikeouts from 2005 to 2007.&nbsp;A-Rod's suggestion is far less drastic than Joe Torre dropping him to eighth in the batting order during a 2006 ALDS series in which he mustered just one hit. However, Rodriguez exorcised those October demons when clubbing six home runs en route to New York's 2009 championship. Yankees fans will hope Judge eventually enjoys a similar turnaround under MLB's brightest lights, starting with Game 3 on Monday night. <a href="https://thespun.com/mlb/derek-jeter-doesnt-hold-back-thoughts-on-aaron-judges-season" rel="nofollow"> Related: Derek Jeter Doesn't Hold Back Thoughts On Aaron Judge's Incredible Season </a></div></body>
