NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Aaron Judge is returning to the New York Yankees’ starting lineup for the first time since breaking his right wrist on July 26.
Judge was set to bat second and play right field in Tuesday night’s rain-delayed game against Boston. The start was pushed back six hours to 7:05 p.m.
Hurt when hit by a pitch, Judge was activated Friday and played two innings in right field that night without going to the plate. Judge says his wrist no longer bothers him while swinging a bat, but he has been experiencing discomfort on more routine movements.
