Aaron Judge Progresses in Throwing Program as Yankees Await Outfield Return

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is showing progress in his throwing program, extending his throws to 150 feet with more intensity, as he continues to recover from a flexor strain in his right arm. Manager Aaron Boone hopes Judge is nearing a return to the outfield, though he has been limited to hitting since returning from the IL in early August. Despite his hitting-only role, Judge's offensive production has been moderate, posting a .216 average with three homers and an .806 OPS in his first 15 games back as a designated hitter.
