New York Yankees outfielder, Aaron Judge, has been sidelined since June 3 due to torn ligaments in his right big toe. While the recovery process has been slow, he demonstrated promising signs of improvement. On Sunday, he took part in live batting practice against fellow rehabbing player Jonathan Loáisiga, facing 16 pitches and successfully fouling off five.
