Judge’s Recovery & Roster Moves | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is making major strides in his recovery, hitting off a pitching machine at big league speeds and set to face live arms in bullpen sessions—possibly returning to the field as early as next week. Manager Aaron Boone confirms Judge’s strength and mobility are back, with game-like scenarios being simulated to prep him for real action. Meanwhile, rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. is recovering from knee inflammation and could return after the off-day. The roster expanded to 28 players, bringing back Ryan McMahon and adding reliever John Schreiber, who pitched a clean ninth. With the roster full, Volpe and Domínguez won’t be called up unless injuries arise. The pitching rotation is also shaping up: Will Warren follows Max Fried on Friday, with Carlos Rodón and possibly Elmer Rodríguez on Saturday, and Gerrit Cole slated for Sunday to give Cam Schlittler more rest.
