Aaron Judge Nearing Outfield Return for Yankees

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is showing noticeable improvement in his throwing program and is optimistic about returning to the outfield soon. Manager Aaron Boone noted Judge has been throwing consistently and could potentially play the field in the upcoming Minnesota series. Judge, who has been limited to designated hitter duties since being activated from the IL after a right elbow flexor strain on July 25, has gone 3-for-12 with three walks and an RBI in his four starts since returning.
