Aaron Judge Still has No Timetable to Return to Outfield
Aaron Judge (elbow) will continue to serve as the team's designated hitter for at least a little while longer. Judge has been tossing from up to 150 feet in the outfield and throwing to second base this week, but not at maximum velocity. The two-time MVP suffered a flexor strain in his right elbow over a month ago and hasn't lined up in the outfield since July 25 as a result. There's still no timetable for Judge to return to his normal position, right field, but manager Aaron Boone expects it to happen this season. "I do," Boone said Thursday when asked if he believes Judge will play the outfield again in 2025. In a best-case scenario for the Yankees, they'll go back to having Judge in right and Giancarlo Stanton at DH for the rest of the season. With Judge unable to play the field, they've had to choose between using Stanton in right or keeping him out of the lineup over the past few weeks.
