Judge swings on field as rehab gains 'momentum'

SEATTLE -- New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge on Friday continued to take positive steps forward in his recovery from a broken wrist, swinging on a field for the first time since being injured six weeks ago.

About five hours before the Yankees faced the Seattle Mariners in their series opener at Safeco Field, Judge was in the ballpark's right-handed batter's box, standing inside the batting cage, where he hit off a tee and took soft toss from hitting coach Marcus Thames.

"[It was] all on the field, so we can see some carry and stuff," manager Aaron Boone said about the drives Judge peppered throughout the outfield.
