Yankee star Aaron Judge initiates initial phase of rehabilitation, aiming for prompt comeback
Aaron Judge, the star outfielder for the New York Yankees, is making progress in his recovery from a right elbow flexor strain. According to reports, Judge could return from the injured list as early as next Tuesday, depending on his response to an increased workload. During his recovery, Judge has been hitting off a tee and tossing in the indoor cage, but he will be strictly a designated hitter (DH) when he returns, as he is still in a 10- to 14-day shutdown from throwing.
Meanwhile, another key player for the Yankees, Aaron Boone, has been reminiscing about Ryne Sandberg, a former Cubs Hall of Famer who passed away on Monday at the age of 65. Boone had a Ryne Sandberg poster on his wall when he was a child, and he had interactions with Sandberg when he worked for ESPN and Sandberg managed the Phillies. Sandberg was coming up through the Phillies farm system when Boone's father was playing there.
Elsewhere in the Yankees' lineup, Paul Goldschmidt has been struggling at the plate. With 99 plate appearances without a home run, Goldschmidt feels a sense of responsibility when the team loses. However, he managed to break his slump on Tuesday night, going 1-for-4 with an RBI. Goldschmidt is also struggling to hit for average.
Meanwhile, the Yankees' front office is busy ahead of the trade deadline. Brian Cashman and his staff are gathered at the club's player development complex in Tampa, and there are many ongoing conversations between the Yankees and other clubs about potential trades.
In other news, Spencer Jones, who was recently promoted to Triple-A, has been performing exceptionally well. After missing three games due to back spasms, Jones returned to the lineup and has since hit 13 home runs in just 19 games.
The best source detailing the exact facts of Judge's injury and his potential return to the Yankees can be found in an article from August 28, 2025, which states that Judge injured his arm on July 22, 2025, during an infield throw in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, and since then his role has been uncertain. Another article from August 24, 2025, reports that Judge is making progress in his recovery and is aiming to return to the field soon.
As the trade deadline approaches and Judge's return nears, the Yankees will be looking to make a push towards the playoffs. With the struggles of Goldschmidt and the potential return of Judge, the team will be hoping to turn things around and secure a spot in the postseason.
