Judge (calf) hit, ran and took the field in a simulated game Monday, Conor Foley of the Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was expected to miss about three weeks when he landed on the injured list with a calf strain for the second time this season in late August. That time period will expire this Friday, and he appears to be roughly still on that timeline, with Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reporting that he's expected back at some point this week.

Stanton (calf) could start playing at the Yankees' alternate training site Monday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

He did baserunning and hit in the cage Sunday, so it seems he remains on track for a potential activation next weekend. Giancarlo Stanton and Gio Urshela are a little ahead of Judge in their progressions, so the Yankees could be getting three key hitters back within the next week.

Judge (calf) has a good chance to return by next weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was expected to miss three weeks when he landed on the injured list with a strained calf two weeks ago, and it appears as though he's still on that same timeline. The Yankees are stuck in the middle of a very competitive playoff race, but there's little sense in them rushing Judge, who's already hit the injured list twice in this short season.

Judge (calf) could begin a "more aggressive" progression of baseball activities Monday, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has already begun to ramp up activity of late, and he appears ready to push forward with the next step in his recovery soon. "He's had a couple of good days and started to ramp up a little bit. I think Monday we'll start the real progression as far as a lot of baseball activities, more aggressive with some of the running and the buildup," manager Aaron Boone stated Saturday. However, even if Judge makes quick progress, the Yankees figure to take a cautious approach to his activation given the fact that he's dealing with the recurrence of an injury.

Judge (calf) resumed baseball activities Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been on the injured list for one week of what was projected to be a three-week stay. Assuming his recovery proceeds without setbacks, he'll be ready to return with approximately 10 days left in the regular season. Given that he's already on his second trip to the injured list of the season due to the same calf issue, however, the Yankees are likely to be quite cautious with him.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Tuesday that the team does not have a timetable for when Judge (calf) will resume baseball activities but added that the slugger is feeling "pretty well," Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was placed on the 10-day IL on Aug. 28 with a three-week return estimate, so he's unlikely to return prior to the final two weeks of the season. Even if the slugger continues to feel good as he recovers, the Yankees aren't going to push his return to the lineup since the calf problem is a recurring issue that didn't go away after 11 days of rest the first time around. The hope in the organization is likely for Judge to come back in time to shake off any rust and be a healthy contributor for a potential postseason run.

Judge (calf) is heading back to the injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Brian Cashman told fans on a Zoom call Thursday that the team will have to give Judge twice as long as the first time he was on the IL. He missed 11 days the first time around, so he may only return with a week left in the season, if he is able to return at all. There were reports the last time he was on the IL that he was feeling 100 percent, but this Grade 1 calf strain is clearly something that he has trouble playing through.

Judge (calf) underwent an MRI on Thursday and could return to the injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge aggravated his calf injury Wednesday and was forced to exit the second game of the doubleheader. The results of his MRI aren't yet known, but manager Aaron Boone confirmed that he aggravated the same injury that he dealt with earlier in the season. Judge returned from the injured list Tuesday, but Boone said that he could require another stay on the IL.

Judge exited Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Braves with right calf tightness, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old went 1-for-3. His calf tightened up while running the bases, and he was removed during the sixth inning. It was Judge's first game action after he missed over two weeks with a right calf strain, so it's a concerning development for the Yankees. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone said a return trip to the injured list is possible, but specifics won't be known until Judge is further evaluated Thursday.

Judge, who is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta, will start in right field for Game 2, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees understandably don't want Judge to play in both games of the twin bill after he was just activated from the injured list, but it's at least comforting to know he will be in there for the nightcap after he was absent from the Game 1 lineup. Mike Tauchman is starting in right field while Mike Ford is the designated hitter in the matinee.
