On Monday afternoon, Yankees fans were treated to a bit of long-awaited good news. Their best player took batting practice on the field for the first time since getting injured. Aaron Judge swinging a bat was a sight for sore eyes and his return can’t come any sooner. His return is still to be determined, but as long as he can deal with the lingering pain and there are no other setbacks, it is imminent.
When he comes back, he’ll immediately reclaim his job as the Yankees’ right fielder. He’s not only the team’s best player, but he’s one of the best in baseball.
