Aaron Judge threw to bases at Yankee Stadium for the first time since suffering a flexor strain in his right arm one month earlier. The timeline for Judge's return to right field remains unknown, and Judge deferred timeline questions to the club's trainers, who are not available to the media. Manager Aaron Boone emphasized caution and the need to avoid reinjury. Since coming off the injured list on Aug. 5, Judge has served as the everyday designated hitter. The Yankees have played Giancarlo Stanton in right field to keep both sluggers' bats in the lineup despite Stanton's defensive limitations and recent leg issues.
NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge took another step forward in his recovery from a flexor strain in his right arm when he threw to bases at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the injury one month ago. When Judge will be able to return to right field, however, remains a mystery. The reigning AL MVP redirected questions about his timeline to the club's trainers, though they are not made available to the media for questions.
'The bottom line is we want to do this the right way,' Boone said before the Yankees hosted the Boston Red Sox in Sunday's series finale. 'And as much as he wants to be out there and we want him out there, we gotta make sure we want to do everything possible to put ourselves in the best position to not reinjure this.' Because of the injury, Judge has been the Yankees' everyday designated hitter since coming off the injured list on Aug. 5.
