Aaron Judge could make New York Yankees return by Sept. 8
Aaron Boone said Judge is ramping up baseball activities and the Yankees will not set a return date until they are certain.
- On Monday, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said outfielder Aaron Judge could return to the lineup during the team's upcoming homestand. Judge is traveling with the club on their West Coast trip to ramp up baseball activities.
- Sidelined since May 31, Judge is recovering from a stress fracture in his rib. The 34-year-old recently told reporters he needed to "be smart over the next couple of weeks" while increasing his workload.
- In addition to running, the outfielder has thrown from over 100 feet and taken indoor batting practice. He recently declined minor league rehab games, stating "why waste at-bats in Double-A or Triple-A?"
- Boone declined to set a specific date, though he indicated "it's possible" Judge returns when the Yankees open a series against the Colorado Rockies on September 8. The team is focused on building his durability and workload.
- Holding an 8.5-game lead for the first American League wild card spot, the Yankees aim to solidify their roster before the postseason. With a 78-60 record, New York looks to integrate Judge back into the lineup.
