When two-time American League MVP Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow this past Saturday, the club hoped that the stint would require exactly 10 days and that Judge could return at designated hitter.
Nearly a week into his stint on the injured list, that appears to still be the Yankees' plan. Judge, who had been hitting off of a tee during the Yankees' three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, on Friday took regular batting practice and worked out on the field ahead of the Yankees' game against the Miami Marlins. The plan is for Judge to head to Tampa to face live pitching.
