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.

Judge is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

He was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday and was originally in that lineup as the designated hitter before the game got postponed, so this is mildly concerning. That said, it would not be surprising if the Yankees planned on sitting him for one half of Wednesday's twin bill, so as long as he is in the lineup for the nightcap, we can assume nothing has changed with regard to his health. Mike Tauchman is starting in right field while Mike Ford is the designated hitter in the matinee.

Judge (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was sidelined for eight games due to a strained right calf, but he said throughout the Yankees' weekend layoff that he'd be available Tuesday. As expected, the 28-year-old was officially activated and should be available Tuesday against Atlanta. He carries a 1.101 OPS with nine home runs and 20 RBI over 17 games this year.

The Yankees plan to activate Judge (calf) from the 10-day injured list ahead of the team's next game Tuesday against the Braves, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge will end up missing just eight games due to the strained right calf, as the Yankees haven't played since Thursday after their weekend series with the Mets was postponed due to COVID-19-related concerns. The slugger previously acknowledged that he didn't think he required a stint on the IL in the first place, and he seemingly proved his health by doing baserunning drills a few days ago before stepping in against Jordan Montgomery and J.A. Happ for live at-bats Sunday. Since Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) remains on the IL, the Yankees could ease Judge back into action as a designated hitter rather than deploying him at his normal spot in right field.

Judge (calf) will return from the injured list when the Yankees play their next game, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The date of that next game remains to be seen, as the Yankees' weekend series was canceled due to positive COVID-19 tests for the Mets, but the possibility remains open that the pair could play a makeup game or two on their mutual off day Monday. Judge's calf strain was always considered minor, and he reportedly never wanted to head to the injured list, so it's no surprise to see that he's expected to be ready to go.
