Yankees superstar Aaron Judge missed seven weeks of the 2018 season with a fractured wrist. So naturally, both he and the Yankees were hoping for an injury-free campaign in 2019.
However, after only 20 games, the face of the franchise went down with a significant left oblique strain. Yet, without Judge, the Yanks have gone 26-9 and sit atop the AL East, one game above the Tampa Rays.
And so on Tuesday, Judge began the next step in his rehab as he took swings off a tee, shagged fly balls from outfield coach Reggie Willits and even performed some agility drills under the supervision of strength and conditioning coach Matt Krause.
