Aaron Judge expected to resume hitting off tee, targets minimal IL stint

Yankees star Aaron Judge is anticipated to begin hitting off a tee in the coming days as he recovers from a strained flexor strain, manager Aaron Boone announced. Boone is optimistic that Judge could return after the minimum 10-day injured list stint. Upon his initial return, Judge will serve as a designated hitter, as he will not resume throwing for 10 to 15 days, and the Yankees have ruled out him playing first base.
