Judge Back in the Batting Cage | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is inching back toward full health after his rib fracture, hitting off a tee for the first time since early June — a major milestone as he aims to return home soon. His comeback is vital for the Yankees, who’ve missed his power bat for nearly three months. Meanwhile, Cody Bellinger could return as soon as this weekend after his hamstring rehab game, easing pressure on younger outfielders like Spencer Jones and Heliot Ramos. Giancarlo Stanton continues his recovery from calf issues with running drills, while Ryan McMahon sits out with a thumb injury (no break found yet) and José Caballero steps in at third. The team also signed Mitch Garver on a minor league deal, showing promise behind the plate, though no immediate call-up is expected. Pitching prospect Ben Hess has been placed on the 60-day injured list. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
