All eyes were on Aaron Judge as the Yankees captain took live batting practice for the first time since he tore a ligament in his right big toe in early June.
He didn’t appear to be favoring his toe at all.
“To have Aaron get in there and be able to have to take pitches, where you’re swing, swing, no, those are good tests that he’s got to go through in working his way back.”The hope has been that Sunday could be a springboard into more sim games or a minor league rehab assignment. Everyone tried to gauge just how close the Yankees are to getting their best hitter back in the lineup.
Judge had not seen game-speed pitching since June 3, when he suffered his toe injury after colliding with a wall at Dodger Stadium while making a highlight-reel catch.
