Aaron Judge Hopes to Skip Minor League Rehab Assignment Before Returning to Yankees
Aaron Judge hit overhand batting practice indoors for the first time since his injury, and the Yankees expect a September return.
- Aaron Judge provided an update on his recovery Thursday, expressing his intent to rejoin the New York Yankees without completing a minor league rehab assignment after missing nearly three months.
- The star outfielder has been sidelined since May 31, yet the Yankees have maintained a 75-57 record while relying on elite pitching to secure a top wild-card spot in the American League.
- Judge took indoor batting practice Tuesday and told reporters he prefers skipping rehab because he has 'got a sense of what I need to do on the field' rather than wasting time in minor-league games.
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team will 'make that decision collectively,' balancing their desire to have the slugger healthy for the postseason with the need for immediate offensive production.
- With his return expected in September, the 34-year-old slugger hopes to help the franchise push for a World Series title following his recovery from a stress fracture in his right rib.
