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

  • Aaron Boone said on WFAN he does not expect Aaron Judge to throw like he normally does for the rest of 2025 before softening the remark later in the day.
  • Judge, limited to designated-hitter duties since Aug. 5, said he has thrown out to roughly 150 feet and expressed confidence he will regain full arm strength.
  • There is no timetable for Judge’s return to the outfield, with the next step being throws to bases pending approval from the Yankees’ training staff.
  • Giancarlo Stanton will start in right field Tuesday against the Rays and sit Wednesday ahead of the Red Sox series as the club manages his workload.
  • Boone said the Yankees planned to activate Amed Rosario before Tuesday’s game as they adjust the roster during a tight postseason race.
