Yankees' Aaron Judge: Still needs to face live pitching
Aaron Judge (ribs) won't face live pitching before the New York Yankees return home next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Judge took batting practice on the field Friday and appears on track to return during the team's upcoming homestand which runs from Sept. 8-13. However, Hoch suggests a return for the very start of that homestand is unlikely with Judge still yet to check the final box in his recovery program. Instead, Hoch is "unofficially circling" Sept. 11 as the likely target date for Judge's return.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Cleared for light activities
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Aaron Judge (rib) has been cleared to begin light activities, which includes outdoor running and upper-body resistance work, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.Though Judge hasn't been given the green light to take part in baseball activities, a return to light conditioning and strength work still amounts to a major step forward in his recovery process from a stress fracture of the first rib on the right side. The Yankees remain optimistic that Judge will be back from the 60-day injured list at some point later this season, but a more precise timeline for his return won't come into focus until he's further along in his rehab program. Judge has been on the shelf since June 5 due to the injury.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: NY remains optimistic about return
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday that the team is "still very optimistic" that Aaron Judge (ribs) will return this season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Cashman explained that "there's a very high likelihood" Judge will be able to recover from the fracture in his right ribs in time to play again this season but acknowledged that "there's challenges with all that too." Naturally, Judge's return could be impacted by New York's place in the standings, and the team currently sits 3.5 games out of first place in the AL East but a comfortable six games up for a wild-card spot. Judge hasn't played since May 31, and he's yet to resume baseball activities, so despite Cashman's optimism, the slugger doesn't appear anywhere close to rejoining the big-league club.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Re-examination timeline uncertain
The New York Yankees haven't yet determined when Aaron Judge (ribs) will next be examined by team doctors, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.It's coming up on two months since Judge last played in a game, and the star slugger remains unable to participate in baseball activities. Manager Aaron Boone said July 25 that Judge is still in "letting-it-heal mode," and with no clear timeline for when he'll undergo imaging again, Judge's potential return date is very hazy. He'll almost certainly need to take part in a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but such a stint doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Not ready for activity
Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that a specialist determined that Aaron Judge (ribs) is not yet ready to resume baseball activities, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.Judge is reportedly feeling significantly less pain now that he's more than a month removed from suffering a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, but he hasn't shown enough signs of healing to be cleared to ramp up just yet. A timeline for his return will remain foggy until he gets the green light to resume activity, though it's likely safe to assume he'll spend at least a few more weeks on the injured list.
