Yankees' Aaron Judge Recovery Timeline Remains Uncertain

The New York Yankees might finally be back to the kind of performance they were offering at the beginning of the season with a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. However, they still haven't put all the missing pieces back together. Super star slugger Aaron Judge has yet to be back in the outfield after a trip to the 10-day injured list with a left elbow injury, and the team doesn't have great news about his status.

The Athletic's Brendan Kuty reported ahead of the Yankees' two-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays that the team is still unsure when Judge will return to the outfield.

"Boone told reporters that Judge has played catch at about 150 feet, but has yet to throw to bases. His ramp-up seems to be on track, if not perhaps a little slow, which would be understandable considering his importance to the Yankees," Kuty wrote. "Expect the Yankees and Boone to continue to be vague in their updates on Judge's progress. The last thing they want is to set an unrealistic expectation for their star and to cause a distraction."

Hopefully for the Yankees, Judge's ramp up is going according to plan. The team captain will likely play a few games in the infield to condition and build up to throwing longer distances, which should see him in the outfield sooner rather than later.
