Judge (shoulder) hit off a tee, participated in soft-toss drills, and threw from 90 feet Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Monday marked the first time Judge has taken part in soft-toss, he's now hit off a tee four consecutive days, and the fact that his daily routine includes throwing suggests that he is progressing from the right shoulder injury that has hampered his start to spring training. While manager Aaron Boone indicated that there is no date set for Judge to play in a game, his status for Opening Day remains optimistic.

Judge (shoulder) hit off an indoor tee Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The original reports surrounding Judge's shoulder soreness held that he'd be shut down from hitting for about a week, but he's back in the cage just three days later. His availability for Opening Day doesn't appear to be at risk.

Judge (shoulder) will resume his hitting program Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was shut down earlier in the week due to shoulder soreness, but he's expected to ramp things up Friday after taking some time off to rest and recover. The outfielder will hit in the cage before ultimately progressing to live batting practice. Assuming his return to hitting goes off without a hitch, Judge should be ready to make his spring debut at some point next week or in early March.

Judge (shoulder) didn't take part in batting practice during Thursday's workout, George A. King III of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was held out of hitting drills for the third day in a row, Judge isn't being shut down completely while he works through the sore right shoulder. He played catch from a distance of about 90 feet Wednesday, and manager Aaron Boone said Judge should be ready to resume swinging a bat within the next couple of days. Assuming the discomfort in Judge's shoulder subsides as anticipated, he should be ready to make his Grapefruit League debut at some point next week or in early March.

Judge (shoulder) will return to swinging within the next couple days, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news contradicts previous reports which suggested that Judge wouldn't swing a bat for a full week. The outfielder's start to camp has been delayed while he receives maintenance for a sore shoulder, but his readiness for Opening Day doesn't appear to be at risk.

Judge (shoulder) was spotted throwing from 90 feet while playing catch with teammate Mike Tauchman during Wednesday's full-squad workout, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees barred Judge from playing catch a day earlier as a matter of maintenance for his sore right shoulder, so Wednesday's activity represents a small step forward for the slugger. Ackert also notes that Judge took part in outfield drills, though he wasn't throwing to the infield after shagging flyballs. Judge should gradually increase his throwing distance along with the intensity of his workouts in the days to come, and at this point, there's seemingly little concern that he'll be at risk of missing Opening Day. His Grapefruit League debut will likely be delayed while he works through the shoulder issue, however.

Judge's shoulder soreness is considered minor, but he's shut down from hitting for about a week and won't play in the Yankees' spring opener Saturday against Toronto, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been feeling soreness for a few weeks, but an MRI didn't reveal any major issues. The outfielder's start to the regular season isn't expected to be delayed, and the Yankees are framing the issue as simply an abundance of caution, but it's certainly not a good sign to see Judge's shoulder barking already at the start of camp.

Manager Aaron Boone said that Judge will receive continued maintenance for his right shoulder and won't take batting practice Tuesday in the Yankees' first full-squad workout of spring training, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge is still scheduled to participate in most of the Yankees' other on-field drills Tuesday, so the club's decision to hold him out of batting practice looks to be mainly precautionary in nature. The slugger jammed his right shoulder in a Sept. 18 game against the Angels last season but missed only one game on account of the injury and didn't require anything more than rest and rehab to address the matter over the winter.

Judge signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract with New York on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

Judge and the Yankees will avoid a hearing by reaching an agreement prior to the deadline. He was limited to 102 games in 2019 due to injury, hitting 27 homers and driving in 55 runs over that stretch.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge plated the Yankees' only run of the game with a 408-foot homer in the third inning. Injuries cost the 27-year-old two months of the campaign but Judge nonetheless finishes with 27 homers for the second straight season while his 5.4 WAR is just a tick below the 5.5 mark he established in 2018. He'll enter the postseason on a power surge as he went deep five times over his final 10 games.
