Judge was scratched from Wednesday's lineup while going through additional testing related to his stint on the COVID-19 injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The additional testing caused Judge to arrive at the field too late to remain in the starting lineup. However, Judge entered the game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-3 with an RBI. After the contest, manager Aaron Boone further clarified the situation and reiterated that Judge was "fine" and "good to go."

Judge (illness) joined the Yankees in Boston on Sunday and could be activated during the upcoming three-game series in Tampa Bay, which begins Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge will need to clear a standard cardiac workup Monday in order to gain full clearance to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list. The 29-year-old has yet to play during the second half since testing positive for the virus during the All-Star break, but he could rejoin the lineup this week if he checks out okay Monday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Judge (illness) could be ready to rejoin the team this weekend and potentially return from the COVID-19 injured list early next week, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has been sidelined for the entire second half after testing positive for COVID-19 coming out of the All-Star break. Based on Boone's comments, Judge doesn't seem to be experiencing any serious symptoms, so he could be ready to rejoin the lineup next week if he's regularly testing negative for the virus. Greg Allen has served as the Yankees' main option in right field while all of Judge, Clint Frazier (eye), Miguel Andujar (wrist) and Trey Amburgey (hamstring) have been on the IL.

Judge tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday's contest against the Red Sox was postponed due to the outbreak, as Judge is among six Yankees who have tested positive for the virus. He'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days and won't be able to rejoin the team until he clears the health and safety protocols. Trey Amburgey and Tim Locastro should see increased playing time for the immediate future with Miguel Andujar (wrist) and Clint Frazier (vision issues) also sidelined.
