NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge said that he believes his fractured right wrist will heal in time to impact the Yankees' push for the postseason, though as he remains unable to swing a bat, that progress has been slower than anticipated.
"The pain is going down," Judge said on Tuesday. "If it was a five two weeks ago, it's going down to a four. It's just kind of working its way down. We're just trying to get down to zero so we can move forward."
Judge was hit by a pitch from the Royals' Jakob Junis on July 26 at Yankee Stadium, after which the Yanks gave an optimistic timeframe of three weeks to resume facing pitching.
