Judge Plays Catch in Rehab but Return Still Distant
Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed Judge took a small step forward Friday, though full baseball activities remain a long way off.
Aaron Judge played catch for the first time during his rehab from a fractured rib, per manager Aaron Boone ahead of Saturday's game in Toronto. Judge has not appeared in a game since May 31, with the rib injury likely dating back to a diving play in April. Despite the milestone, he still has significant ground to cover before returning to full baseball activities. The Yankees offense has struggled to score consistently since Judge went on the IL.
