Yesterday afternoon, prior to last night’s win over Twins, Aaron Judge hit on the field for the first time since landing on the disabled list. He took five rounds of batting practice. He’s gone through the usual progression of tee and soft toss to hitting in the cage to taking batting practice over the last week, and everything is going well. Judge feels good and is inching closer to a return.
“A typical Aaron Judge BP. Putting on a show,” Aaron Boone said to Brendan Kuty yesterday. “It went really well. Another big step for him to get out on the field and now we’ll start hopefully — as he bounces back — we’ll ramp that up and start to really talk about building up the endurance.
