New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) said a cortisone shot he received in his right wrist on Tuesday is "definitely" helping, and his goal is to ramp things up before a two-game series with the Marlins next Tuesday. He's hoping to take dry swings or play catch. Judge's pace of returning has been slower than expected, and he's only been able to run on the field and take some swings underwater. Judge's fantasy owners must remain patient, although it's a disappointment he wasn't able to[...]

If David Bote and Jacob Nix had gotten off to the starts they've had in May, they would be nearly universally owned as fantasy owners pounce on the next big thing. However, it's August. The vast majority of fantasy baseball rosters have been abandoned in favor of the real-life pennant chase, hockey, basketball, and that silly game where players try to assault each other for the right to do a stupid dance in the end zone. I think we cover that last one here at Rotoballer. Anyway, Bote and Nix [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) is still a long way from making it back to the lineup. Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said that the slugger received a cortisone shot on [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) said he is feeling better and is on the right track. "The wrist is feeling all right. It could be better. I'm still right on track. I feel like hopefully I'll swing a bat here in the next couple of days or week sometime. [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) said his wrist is "still fractured" after meeting with a doctor Thursday, and he's unsure when he'll resume swinging a bat. It looks like Judge won't make it back in a month. That's bad news for a Bombers team also without slugging catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) still. Judge was batting .285 with 26 home runs, 61 RBI and six stolen bases before his injury. Fantasy owners patiently await his return, too.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) ran the bases on Thursday as he works on his range of motion. However, he has yet to resume swinging a bat. He'll visit with a team doctor Thursday night. There remains no timetable for the slugger's return. Judge was batting .285/.398/.548 with 26 home runs, 61 RBI and six stolen bases before his injury. Brett Gardner should continue seeing more playing time until Judge is ready to return.

New 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 [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge admitted on Sunday that he still feels pain in his wrist following a chip fracture suffered late last month. The 26-year-old has been sorely missed by the Yankees, as they've fallen into a major hole in the AL East division race. Team managed Aaron Boone initially forecasted he'd be able to take dry swings at this stage of the recovery, but Judge has seemingly fallen behind schedule. It still appears likely that September is the month to expect the All-St[...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) is making small steps towards returning to the lineup on Thursday. Before the Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox, Judge was seen doing agility drills on the field at Fenway Park. He reportedly wore a wrap on his hand. Judge himself said he was "feeling better as the days go by" since the chip fracture in his wrist. The Yankees (and Judge's fantasy owners) desperately need Judge back if they want to catch up to the Red Sox (or the fantasy opp[...]

Welcome to our surprising starts series. Every week we'll be going over a few surprising starting pitcher performances around the majors to determine whether these starts were smoke and mirrors or something more. The Texas Rangers took it to the Houston Astros this weekend, becoming the first team to sweep the Astros this season. That series produced a lot of suprising performances, especially from some pitchers. We also got another pitcher shutting a team down in Coors Field. Both Ariel J[...]
