Aaron Judge is making strides in his recovery from a flexor strain in his right elbow, having begun throwing again with a goal to return to the outfield for the New York Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Judge, who has not played the outfield since July 25, had a successful catch session and was scheduled to throw again. Judge leads MLB with an impressive batting average of .339. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton is set to take on right field duties as Judge continues to play as the designated hitter. The Yankees are also facing setbacks with other players: Austin Slater is expected to miss four to six weeks with a hamstring strain, while several pitchers are on the mend. Gerrit Cole is nearing a return after elbow surgery, and Ryan Yarbrough and Fernando Cruz are scheduled for live batting practice this weekend.
