NEW YORK -- In the first at-bat of his major league debut, Tyler Austin sliced a 2-2 fastball from Matt Andriese to the opposite field. The arcing drive landed 331 feet from home plate in the first row over the short porch in right, about 3 feet fair, and rebounded onto the field.I was ecstatic on deck. I was, `Oh, man, Ive just got to make contact now, said Aaron Judge, about to hit in the big leagues for the first time.Just 114 seconds later, Judge rocketed a changeup that clanked off the railing above the center-field sports bar and into the netting above Monument Park, becoming just the third player to homer over the batters eye at new Yankee Stadium.Teammates had never before homered in their first major league at-bats in the same game.Now New Yorks 24-year-old newbies had done it back-to-back, in a five-pitch span of the second inning.Baby Bombers indeed!That thing was a hit a ton, an awe-struck Austin said Saturday after an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.On a humid, 95-degree afternoon and on the same day Alex Rodriguez was officially released, the future came fast for the Yankees.And it arrived on, coincidentally, a special occasion. Highlighting the generational change, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams were at Yankee Stadium for a 20th anniversary celebration of the 1996 World Series championship team, the start of a dynasty that would win four titles in five years.I was too nervous to be even think about going to talk to anybody, Austin said.Only once before had two players homered in the first at-bat of their debuts in the same game, and they were on opposing teams: Brooklyns Ernie Koy and the Phillies Heinie Mueller in the first inning at Philadelphias Baker Bowl on April 19, 1938.Judge-Austin seemed to be the Bleacher Creatures new favorites, not some jurisprudence reference.Each went 2 for 4, Austin using a bat with a lime-colored grip and Judge swinging black lumber. Austin, wearing No. 26, also swiped a base. Judge, in uniform No. 99, looked like Paul Bunyan at a burly 6-foot-7 and 275 pounds.We brought up some big boys, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Tyler Austins probably 225, 230 pounds, and he looks tiny next to Aaron Judge.Called up before the game as part of a youth movement that led to Rodriguezs release, Austin batted seventh and Judge eighth.Aaron Hicks hit a three-run homer in the fifth for a 6-3 lead, and Starlin Castro and Didi Gregorius -- batting cleanup for the first time in his big league career -- also went deep. The Yankees (60-56), whose homers all came from players 26 and under, won their fourth straight and matched their season high of four games over .500.Brad Miller homered twice for Tampa Bay, a three-run drive and a solo shot off Masahiro Tanaka (9-4). Andriese (6-4) took the loss.New York started a pair of players making their big league debuts for the first time since center fielder Jim Lyttle and catcher John Ellis against the California Angels on May 17, 1969.Judge had just ordered a postgame midnight meal with his parents in Rochester when Scranton/Wilkes-Barre manager Al Pedrique walked up to his table at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and told him about the call-up. So after a bacon cheeseburger, macaroni and cheese and beans, the first baseman drove through the night with mom and dad, arriving at a Parsippany, New Jersey, hotel around 6 a.m.Austin had gotten his news earlier Friday. When his flight was canceled, the Yankees sent a car service to take him on the 5-hour drive.The two newcomers joined 23-year-old catcher Gary Sanchez, hitting .313 (10 for 32) with three doubles, a home run and four RBI since he was brought up Aug. 3.Judge will be the regular right fielder. Austin will share time at first with Mark Teixeira and also DH, then compete with Greg Bird for the first-base job at spring training.General manager Brian Cashman planned to bring up Austin and added Judge once it became clear outfielder Brett Gardner will be sidelined for several days after getting hit by a pitch above the right ankle Friday night.I figured Judge, being his first call-up, hes not going to sleep anyway, Cashman said. Thank God hes young, because if that was me, I would be a zombie right now.Austin, who also plays corner outfield and third base, overcame testicular cancer surgery at age 17 and was a 13th-round draft pick in 2010. His career slowed after a wrist injury and he was designated for assignment last Sept. 1, giving other teams a chance to claim him off waivers.He remained with the Yankees and after playing in the Arizona Fall League and Venezuelan Winter League, he started this year at Double-A Trenton and blossomed after he was promoted to Triple-A on June 4.The old man, I like to see them do good, said Hall of Fame slugger Reggie Jackson, a Yankees adviser who has followed prospects around the minors.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Jay Cutlers season might not be over, despite pessimistic reports.The Chicago Bears quarterback suffered a right shoulder injury and his status for this week is uncertain, although coach John Fox said Wednesday it apppears less signficant than some earlier media reports suggested.Its not season ending, contrary to the reports you heard, Fox said.Cutler suffered the shoulder injury in Sundays 22-16 loss to the New York Giants, but finished the game.You know, in my experience with Jay, hes a tough son of a gun, Fox said. So he doesnt go typical of the lengths people put into it as far as weeks and whatnot. So, you know, right now he is day to day.The Bears practiced with Matt Barkley taking all the snaps Wednesday in preparation for Sundays game at Soldier Field against the Tennessee Titans. It would be Barkleys first NFL start.Fox was vague on how severe the labrum injury Cutler suffered actually is. He didnt dispute that Cutler has a labrum tear or that he might eventually need surgery.Tear is kind of a broad term, Fox said. It is sore. There is soreness to it. But there is a lot of things in the shoulder that can affect the quarterback. Some of them can be just chronic, old, just wear and tear, like pitchers or quarterbacks in the National Football League.So its injured, but its not season ending.Cutlers last pass was an interception to end the Bears chances Sunday. He is 81 for 137 for 1,059 yards with four touchdown passes and five interceptions this season, and has a passer rating of 78.1.An earlier thumb injury limited Cutler to five starts this year.As for his future in Chicago, Cutler no longer has a high salary cap figure, so it becomes more likely he could be traded or cut in the offseason. Fox is looking short term and not big picture.He said Barkley will be more prepared than he was when the Bears turned to him Oct. 20 in relief of starter Brian Hoyer against Green Bay in a 26-10 loss. Hoyer suffered a broken left arm in the game, and Cutler was already out.Barkley went 6 for 15 for 81 yards with two interceptions, but had little previous practice time.He can make all the throws, Fox said. Its noot too big for him.dddddddddddd. Its not overwhelming. I think thats pretty important at that position. He handles the audibles pretty well, he understands the offense. Hes picked that up pretty quickly. Im confident in the guy.Barkley signed with the Bears practice squad Sept. 4.Ive been in big games before, said Barkley, who played at USC. Ive played football at a high level. This is the NFL and Im excited about that, but in my mind its nothing new to me.Im going to respect Tennessees defense. Theyve done a great job thus far, their defense. In my mind, though, its another game. Ive been here before. So Ill just keep playing football.Barkley is 36 for 65 for 381 yards with six interceptions and no touchdowns in an NFL career that started in 2013 with the Philadelphia Eagles.The Bears have been ravaged by injuries at all positions. Barkley would be their third quarterback to start this year. Not only did they lose Cutler for five weeks earlier, but they lost Hoyer, and their original third quarterback, Connor Shaw, suffered a broken leg in preseason.To back up Barkley, the Bears signed one of their own former draft picks, David Fales. He had been cut and signed earlier in the season with Baltimores practice squad.Barkley said he wont have to adjust much to throwing to the current Bears receivers. Kevin Whites broken leg and a suspension to Alshon Jeffery for a performance enhancing drug policy violation make it so hed throw in the game to the same backups he threw to with the scout team.Im going to be ready, Barkley said. Im not overthinking it, Im not over-hyped.Im just going to be me and try to win this game.Game notes Linebacker Leonard Floyd is in the NFL concussion protocol and missed Wednesdays practice following a scary neck/head injury suffered against the Giants. Floyd is day to day. ... Starting nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle), who missed last weeks game, was able to practice Wednesday on a limited basis.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
