Judge hopes to begin taking dry swings soon

NEW YORK -- After receiving a cortisone shot in his right wrist on Tuesday that he says is "definitely" helping, Aaron Judge has a goal of "ramping things up" before the Yankees head to Miami for a two-game series starting Tuesday.

At this point, Judge isn't quite sure what "ramping things up" would mean in just the short amount of time between Thursday and Tuesday, but he said he is hoping that it could include taking dry swings or playing catch.

Judge said he was hoping that the original estimate of a three-week stint on the disabled list would be accurate, but with Thursday marking three weeks since he was hit on the wrist by a pitch from the Royals' Jakob Junis, it's taking longer to heal than he and the team had expected.
