Overview

  • Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 27 after being diagnosed with a right elbow flexor strain that limits his throwing and slightly affects his grip
  • On July 29 he completed his first rehab session featuring toss-and-tee drills and light batting-cage work without reporting any setbacks
  • New York remains hopeful he will miss only the IL minimum and be eligible to return as designated hitter on August 5 in Texas
  • A full throwing program is projected to begin between August 8 and 13 to gradually restore arm strength and prepare him for outfield duties
  • Manager Aaron Boone and the training staff are calibrating lineup and defensive shifts—potentially moving Giancarlo Stanton to outfield—to accommodate Judge’s staged progression
