Aaron Judge's Throwing Status Sparks Disagreement With Yankees Manager Aaron Boone

Yankees captain Aaron Judge's throwing capabilities are a point of contention, as manager Aaron Boone indicated Judge would likely be limited to DH duty for the remainder of the season due to a flexor strain. Judge, who has been solely a designated hitter since his August 5 activation from the injured list, publicly disagreed with Boone, asserting confidence in his ability to return to full throwing strength. While the injury, suffered on July 22, is a flexor strain with an intact UCL, Judge has progressed to throwing 150 feet and aims to return to outfield play.
