Judge Near Return, Yankees Pushing Hard | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is inching closer to returning to the Yankees after a rib injury sidelined him since May 31, as he was spotted taking batting practice ahead of their game against the Padres — and he’s impatient but focused on getting back on the field. The Yankees remain hot contenders in the AL East, just three games behind Tampa Bay and poised to grab the top wild card if the season ended today. With Judge’s return looming, the team’s depth has held strong, but his presence would be a major boost as they race toward a deep playoff run — and all signs point to him rejoining the lineup soon.
