Overview

• Judge played catch at a 60-foot distance in Arlington before Wednesday’s game, marking his first outfield throws since suffering a right elbow flexor strain.
• He reported feeling good after the session and anticipates that soreness will decrease over the next couple of weeks.
• Returning as the designated hitter on Tuesday after a 10-day injured list stint, Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
• The Yankees are monitoring his arm closely and evaluating a move of Giancarlo Stanton to right field to keep both power hitters in the lineup.
• Judge’s league-leading .339 batting average, 37 home runs and 85 RBIs highlight the urgency of a careful workload management strategy.
