Judge Hits Off Tee, Yankees Hopeful | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge’s rehab is heating up as he begins hitting off a tee, marking a hopeful step toward returning from his broken rib injury. The Yankees, five games back in the division and struggling offensively without him — especially during a brutal August slump — are counting on his comeback to reignite their playoff push. With Bellinger also nearing return, the team’s offense could finally get its groove back before the season’s final five weeks.
