Aaron Boone "Optimistic" Aaron Judge Will Return to Outfield Soon
Aaron Judge's (elbow) throwing program is moving in a "pretty good direction." The skipper is "optimistic" that Judge will return to duties in right field soon, although Boone didn't want to share a target date. The manager said on Saturday that there was no timetable for Judge to return to the outfield, but this update makes it seem like it could happen early next week. The 33-year-old reigning American League MVP recently returned from a trip to the injured list due to a right elbow flexor strain, and the Yankees are easing him in as the designated hitter until he's cleared to play the field. He's DHing and hitting third in Sunday's series finale against the Astros. Since returning from the IL last week, Judge has gone 3-for-12 with an RBI and two runs scored in four starts.
