Aaron Judge returned to the Yankees lineup following a right flexor strain that placed him on the injured list for 10 days. Prior to his injury, the Yankees struggled significantly, losing 28 of 46 games. Manager Aaron Boone expressed relief over Judge's return, noting his upbeat attitude during recovery. Judge was utilized as a designated hitter to avoid further injury. He participated in batting practice and live at-bats before rejoining the team in Texas. Boone mentioned that Judge is set to begin pitching practice but provided no timeline for a full return to outfield play.
The Yankees did their fair share of losing before Aaron Judge went on the injured list July 26 with a right flexor strain in his elbow.
The outfielder, because of the nature of his injury and the Yankees not wanting him to throw, was at designated hitter Tuesday night and will solely DH on the days he plays in the near future.
Judge flew with the Yankees to Miami Thursday night and took batting practice on the field Friday and Saturday before flying to Tampa Saturday night.
Boone said Judge is slated to start his throwing program on Wednesday but didn't put a timetable on a return to rightfield.
