• Yankees' Aaron Judge: Has follow-up exam on rib

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that Judge has a follow-up exam scheduled with Dr. Gregory Pearl regarding his rib, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. A calf strain prematurely ended his season, but Judge missed more than three months of action during the regular season with a stress fracture in his ribs. Cashman noted that the team feels like it's "in a good place" with Judge's injury and they expect the slugger to be ready to go for spring training. Barring any surprises, Judge should receive clearance from Dr. Pearl to go through his normal offseason workouts.

• Yankees' Aaron Judge: Not on ALDS roster

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Judge (calf) isn't on the Yankees' roster for their American League Divisional Series against the Rays, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Judge has resumed taking live batting practice since being diagnosed with a right calf strain Sept. 19, but he hasn't yet begun running the bases or resumed outfield work. Rather than limiting him to a DH role, the Yankees are waiting until the star slugger can play in the field before activating him for the postseason, and his next chance to play will now be in the ALCS (should New York advance). Heliot Ramos and Spencer Jones will likely continue to share right-field duties against Tampa Bay.

• Yankees' Aaron Judge: Status for ALDS up in the air

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Judge's (calf) availability for the ALDS against the Rays "remains up in the air," Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Judge suffered a moderate right calf strain a little more than two weeks ago. He's gone through workouts this week, but Judge will need to show he can run the bases without issue before receiving clearance to be on the ALDS roster. Complicating matters is that if Judge is limited to designated hitter, Ben Rice would have to play first base and push Luis Garcia out of the lineup.

• Yankees' Aaron Judge: Not included on wild-card roster

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Judge (calf) is not on the Yankees' wild-card series roster against the Red Sox, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Judge was diagnosed with a moderate right calf strain a little less than two weeks ago. He's made progress, having taken live batting practice Monday, but Judge has yet to try running the bases or playing the outfield since the injury. Judge will push to be ready for the ALDS, should the Yankees advance. With Judge shelved, New York will likely use Spencer Jones in right field and Trent Grisham in center field versus righties.

• Yankees' Aaron Judge: Faces live pitching Monday

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Judge (calf) logged four at-bats during a live batting practice session Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Phillips notes that Judge struck out once, drew a pair of walks and hit a comebacker to the pitcher during his time at the dish. While it's a positive sign that he was able to log several at-bats against live pitching, he didn't participate in any on-field running or fielding. The slugger's availability is still up in the air heading into Game 1 of the Yankees' wild-card series against the Red Sox. Judge hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a right calf strain Sept. 16 against Minnesota.
