Aaron Judge is back — sort of

Aaron Judge is back with the Yankees — but not all the way back.

The right fielder, who has been out since suffering a chip fracture in his right wrist July 26, will be activated for Friday’s game against the Blue Jays, but he will only be used on defense and as a pinch runner for now.

Judge won’t be used as a pinch hitter until he makes more progress.

Aaron Boone said they would come up with a plan to get Judge simulated at-bats in the next few days. He was scheduled to take batting practice on the field Friday.
