Yankees’ Aaron Judge Takes Big Rehab Step, Gives New Elbow Update
Aaron Judge resumed throwing at Yankees' practice after nearly a month sidelined by a right elbow flexor strain, with no set return date announced, team officials said.
- Nearly a month after going on the injured list with a flexor strain, New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge briefly threw to bases from right field on Sunday about five hours before the Yankees' finale against the Boston Red Sox.
- Judge's late-July throwing problem prompted a 10-day injured list stint and platelet-rich plasma injection after an MRI showed no acute UCL damage.
- He had already been tossing at 150 feet as part of ramp-up; during pregame work in right field, Aaron Judge fielded flyballs from Yankees coach Luis Rojas and threw to a cutoff behind second base.
- There is still no timetable for Aaron Judge's return to the outfield, and the Yankees went 4-6 without him while he has been used as designated hitter since Aug. 5, hitting.218 with three homers and seven RBIs.
- Giancarlo Stanton, New York Yankees designated hitter, started in right field Sunday while Aaron Boone warned opponents may test Aaron Judge's arm, who leads the major leagues with a.326 average and 1.114 OPS.
