ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - AUGUST 17: Aaron Judge #9 of the New York Yankees returns to the dugout after lining out against the St. Louis Cardinals in the third inning at Busch Stadium on August 17, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri.

Overview

  • On WFAN, Aaron Boone said he did not expect Judge to be throwing like he normally does at any point this season.
  • Judge countered that Boone had not seen his recent sessions and said he is confident he will get back to 100 percent.
  • Before Tuesday’s game, Boone tempered his stance, saying he may have overstated it and that Judge should be able to handle himself defensively when cleared.
  • Judge has progressed to long toss at roughly 150 feet with the next step being throws to bases, and there remains no timetable for outfield duty.
  • With Judge at DH, Giancarlo Stanton started in right field Tuesday against the Rays and is slated to sit Wednesday as the Yankees manage his workload.
