It’s much later than expected, but news of an Aaron Judge return to the New York Yankees’ lineup is stirring. The injured right fielder has finally picked up a bat, taking his first full-power swings in more than a month.
According to ESPN’s Coley Harvey, Judge said he experienced no pain in his injured right wrist as he took 50 cuts before the Yankees loss in Oakland on Monday. That seems almost miraculous after the Yankees’ slugger reported minimal progress in terms of pain just a week ago on Aug.
