Judge (neck) was back on the field Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was held off the field the past two days while dealing with neck stiffness, but he was able to return Tuesday and take batting practice. It's unclear whether he'll be in the lineup for Tuesday's intrasquad game. While it's possible that the Yankees could exercise caution with their star right fielder in the coming days, Judge's health appears to be trending in the right direction.

Judge (neck) was feeling better Monday and was able to take some swings, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been limited over the past several days while battling neck stiffness, but he had a better range of motion Monday and was able to work in the batting cage and in the weight room. Manager Aaron Boone was unsure whether Judge would be able to play in Tuesday's intrasquad game, but the 27-year-old's progression Monday was certainly an encouraging step.

Judge (neck) could return for Tuesday's intrasquad matchup, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was scratched from Saturday's intrasquad lineup with neck stiffness and was held out again Sunday since his neck was "still a little stiff." However, manager Aaron Boone was hopeful that the right fielder will be able to return Tuesday. The team doesn't sound too concerned about the injury with Opening Day just under two weeks away.

Judge (neck) is not in the lineup for Sunday's intrasquad game, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

His neck is "still a little stiff" according to manager Aaron Boone. The injury is not considered serious, but it's a situation we will continue to track as Opening Day nears. Zack Granite and Estevan Florial are the two right fielders for Sunday's intrasquad affair.

Judge's stiff neck isn't considered a big deal, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was seemingly healthy at the start of camp after recovering from a stress fracture in his rib, an issue which dated back to the end of the 2019 season. It's not clear that the neck stiffness that caused him to skip Saturday's intrasquad game is related to that issue, and manager Aaron Boone wasn't overly concerned, saying, "It just locked up on him. Hopeful he can be in there tomorrow. I don't expect it to be a long-term thing."

Judge was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's intrasquad game due to a stiff neck, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge showed up to camp seemingly fully healthy after finally getting past the fractured rib he suffered back at the end of last season. The neck issue appears to be unrelated, though it's possible it's linked to his previous problems in some way. The severity of the setback remains to be seen.

Judge said he is game ready and feeling good after starting in right field and betting second in Monday's intrasquad game, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge added that the biggest thing leading up to Opening Day is getting the reps in and getting his timing down. He grounded out to third and struck out swinging in his two at-bats Monday. After being diagnosed in early March with a stress fracture in his first right rib, the 28-year-old slugger looks to be near full strength as the Yankees' July 23 opener against Max Scherzer and the Nationals draws closer.

Judge (ribs) is starting in right field and hitting second in Monday's intrasquad game.

EDGE Analysis

He faced live pitching and swung without pain last week and is apparently ready for full game action, albeit in a controlled environment. The intrasquad game will be broadcast on YES Network, so there should be plenty of follow-up video and reports later this evening.

Judge (rib) is swinging without pain, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the report on Judge's health comes from a less-than-expert source -- teammate Gerrit Cole -- it nonetheless inspires more optimism that the slugger is over the hump in his recovery from a right rib fracture and will be ready to take the field on Opening Day. Cole's observation does come from firsthand experience; the Yankees' ace pitched to Judge in a simulated game Thursday.

Judge (rib) took live batting practice Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This encouraging step in Judge's rehab comes shortly after it was reported that the Yankees are "very optimistic" about the slugger's status for the start of the season. The outfielder still has some hurdles to clear before any final determination is made regarding his Opening Day availability, but things are trending in the right direction.
