Judge threw from the outfield to the bases and a cut-off man prior to Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Judge confirmed following the pregame workout that he "checked a box" in his throwing progression by tossing a baseball to the bases for the first time since he was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow July 26. Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone said that Judge looked good during the throwing session, but the Yankees aren't putting a timeline on when the two-time AL MVP might be ready to play the outfield in a game. Judge will remain in the lineup as the Yankees' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Judge is "close" to throwing to bases, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge hasn't played the outfield in a game since before he landed on the IL with a flexor strain in late July. Though the slugger has been taking part in a throwing program, it hasn't yet included throwing to bases. Judge seems to be close to advancing to that step, which would move him closer to being able to return to defensive work during games. For the time being, though, he'll likely remain New York's primary DH, which has resulted in Giancarlo Stanton getting more frequent rest days and playing right field when he is in the lineup.

Judge went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 13-3 victory versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Judge hit the first of a franchise-record-tying nine New York homers, going deep to center field in the first inning. The long ball was the slugger's 40th of the campaign, marking the fourth time in his career he's reached that milestone. Per MLB.com, Judge is the fourth Yankee -- joining Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle -- with four career campaigns of 40-plus homers.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge (elbow) will not play the outfield during the team's two-game series against the Rays that runs through Wednesday, and he is unsure whether Judge will be ready to play the field for the four-game set versus the Red Sox that concludes Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has expanded his throwing out to 150 feet as he works his way back from a right flexor strain. Boone conceded that Judge is unlikely to be able to throw like he normally does at any point this season, but the goal is to get him to a spot where "he can go out there and be able to protect himself and represent himself." With Judge limited to designated-hitter duty, the Yankees have been mixing in Giancarlo Stanton in right field, although they have been reluctant to make Stanton a full-time outfielder. Stanton's playing time could continue to be somewhat limited until Judge is ready to return to right field.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two walks in Saturday's victory over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Judge opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the third, his 39th homer of the season. The superstar slugger has tallied six seasons with 30-plus homers and sits just one long ball shy of his fourth 40-homer campaign.

Judge went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run and three walks in Tuesday's 9-1 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Judge didn't have many opportunities to swing the bat, as the Twins put him on base three times via walks, one of which was intentional. It's logical that Minnesota would pitch around the slugger after he crushed a 425-foot solo shot in his first plate appearance. Judge had been in somewhat of a slump coming into Tuesday, going seven games without a homer and batting just .182 (4-for-22) during that span. He's still leading all qualified MLB hitters in batting average (.337) and OPS (1.141), though, and is rounding out an MVP-caliber campaign with 38 homers, 88 RBI, 94 runs and seven stolen bases through 110 contests.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that he does not expect Judge to play the outfield during the team's series versus the Twins that runs through Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone indicated Sunday that Judge should be ready to play the outfield soon, and while that presumably is still the case, it won't come early this week. Judge has been limited to designated hitter duty since returning from a flexor strain last week. Judge's inability to play the field has limited Giancarlo Stanton's playing time, although Stanton is getting a start in right field Monday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Judge is "moving in a pretty good direction" with his throwing program as he continues to recover from a right elbow flexor strain, and the skipper is "optimistic" that the 33-year-old will resume playing the outfield soon, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After returning to the lineup Tuesday as the designated hitter, Judge was cleared to resume playing catch a day later. He'll gradually increase the distance and intensity of his throwing over the next several days, but Boone was unwilling to put a timeline on when the two-time American League MVP might be ready for defensive duties. In the meantime, Judge will serve as a full-time DH. He's gone 3-for-12 with three walks, an RBI and two runs in his first four starts since returning from the IL.

Judge (elbow) could return to playing the outfield "sometime towards the weekend or early next week," Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge returned to the Yankees' lineup at designated hitter Tuesday and on Wednesday played catch for the first time since being diagnosed with a right flexor strain, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. While the Yankees have not revealed a timeline for Judge's return to right field, it sounds like it might come soon. Judge playing the field would allow the Yankees to put Giancarlo Stanton back in the DH slot.

The Yankees activated Judge (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge missed only the minimum 10 days while battling a right flexor strain. While he is able to hit, Judge has not yet resumed throwing, so he will be limited to designated-hitter duty indefinitely. It will result in a playing time hit for Giancarlo Stanton, although Stanton is expected to see some action in the outfield.
