5 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) may not be ready to hit outside. Manager Aaron Boone indicated on Tuesday that Judge should be cleared to hit outside by Saturday, but was less optimistic about Judge’s timeline on Friday. Judge hit live batting practice for the first time since his injury on Thursday, and hitting outside is the last major hurdle for the outfielder before he can get back into game action. The Yankees are likely being cautious with Judge’s shoulder and he’s still expected to be ready for Opening Day, but if he does miss any time, then Mike Tauchman and Miguel Andujar should see more playing time. DFS and full-season fantasy players should monitor the Yankees outfield situation for potential early season playing-time opportunities.--Sam Chinitz
