OAKLAND, Calif. -- Aaron Judge's return from injury took a big step Monday, when the New York Yankees right fielder swung a bat for the first time since breaking a bone in his right wrist in late July.
"It's moving in the right direction. It's definitely a big step," Judge said. "We're just excited and kind of on track with what we're going to one day accomplish. So I'm excited for the progress we're making so far."
Judge, who has been on the disabled list since suffering a chip fracture of the right wrist when he was hit by a 94 mph fastball July 26, took 50 total swings in the center-field batting cages at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
