Overview

• Before Sunday’s game, the Yankees captain made controlled throws from right field to second base and a cutoff man as part of his progression.
• Judge described the session as “checking a box,” noting it was not at full intensity as he continues long toss to roughly 150 feet.
• Manager Aaron Boone said there is no timetable for a defensive return and emphasized avoiding reinjury as the priority.
• Since Aug. 5, Judge has been limited to designated hitter duties and says the elbow issue affects only his throws, not his swing.
• Giancarlo Stanton has covered right field at times and could share the spot if Judge is cleared, while Judge’s season totals remain elite despite a .218 average with three homers since his return.
