Aaron Judge Appears to be Past his Elbow Issues
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge's right elbow is "doing really well" as he ramps up his throwing in preparation for the 2026 World Baseball Classic, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "He looks great," Boone said. The 33-year-old was sent to the injured list last year with a flexor strain in his elbow, and it limited him to designated hitter duties for a while after he returned. Judge returned to the outfield in September and avoided surgery, so he should be good to play the outfield to begin the 2026 regular season. Judge is the best hitter in baseball and has been the American League MVP in three of the last four years. He's the No. 2 overall fantasy player for a reason, as he's clubbed over 50 homers in three out of the last four seasons. Judge had 53 long balls and led the league in 2025 in WAR (9.7), runs (137), walks (124), batting average (.331), on-base percentage (.457), slugging percentage (.688), OPS (1.144), and total bases (372) in 152 regular-season contests.
