BALTIMORE -- The New York Yankees reinstated Aaron Judge from the injured list on Friday before they open a weekend road series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Judge had been out since tearing a ligament in his right big toe June 3 when he crashed into the right-field fence while making a catch at Dodger Stadium.
Judge played a simulated game Wednesday at the team's complex in Tampa, Florida, and returned to New York after that, manager Aaron Boone said.
The 2022 American League MVP faced live pitching Sunday at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the injury.
