Judge's recess frustrating to Yankees slugger

NEW YORK -- As his injured wrist continues healing slower than doctors originally thought, New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge said Thursday that he hates still being away from the field and out of the lineup.

"I'm not frustrated with the pace [of the healing]. I'm frustrated with being out," Judge said.

The outfielder has been out of action for exactly three weeks after he suffered a chip fracture in his right wrist when a 94 mph fastball hit him July 26.

Hours after Judge sustained the injury, the Yankees announced an approximate three-week recovery period.
