Judge Near Return for West Coast Trip | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is inching closer to returning to the Yankees lineup after a rib injury sidelined him since May. He’s been ramping up with batting and throwing drills and is expected to join the team on their West Coast trip against the Angels and Padres. With playoffs on the horizon and only four weeks left in the season, Judge wants to skip minor league rehab and get back in game action fast—confident he can prepare himself without extra at-bats. He’s hitting .280 with 17 homers in 59 games this year and plans to play smart while staying healthy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
