NEW YORK - A day after ramping up his baseball activities, injured New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge said Tuesday that he may be able to return to action before the chip fracture in his right wrist fully heals.
"That's what I've heard is you can play with it, because I don't need surgery, I don't need anything like that," Judge said before the Yankees' 5-4 walk-off win over the White Sox. "I can play with it before it actually fully heals. It's just getting that pain down to zero."
Pain tolerance has been a key part of Judge's recovery from the injury that he received when he was hit by a pitch on July 26.
