7 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) has yet to swing a bat since being hit by a pitch on July 26 and will not resume swinging until he is pain-free, according to manager Aaron Boone. Judge has been throwing up to five feet. "The pain has to be all the way out of there," Boone said. "Once it is, I think it goes fast from there potentially, because he's in great shape, he's been able to do all his conditioning, lower body, even upper-body strength stuff." The Yankees could really use Judge's thump back in the lineup, but the Yanks won't rush him. He was hitting .285 with 26 home runs, 61 RBI and six stolen bases before his injury. Brett Gardner should continue seeing increased playing time until Judge returns.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
