Aaron Judge to Be Activated by Yankees; Hit DL with Wrist Injury in July

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays after missing almost two months with a wrist injury.

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported Judge will not hit but is eligible to play the field and run the bases.

Judge suffered a fractured wrist July 26. He was initially expected to miss only three weeks.

"I'm not frustrated with the pace [of the healing]. I'm frustrated with being out," Judge told reporters last month.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman acknowledged the initial timeline was too optimistic.
