Judge (oblique) said Sunday that he could resume swinging a bat and hitting off a tee within the next couple of days, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was spotted on the field Sunday taking part in some throwing drills from about 150 feet and noted afterward that he's progressing as anticipated in his recovery from the left oblique strain. Taking some hacks with the bat would represent a significant milestone in the rehab process for Judge and could set the stage for simulated-game work or a minor-league rehab assignment soon after. Judge remains without a definitive timeline for a return, though it seems reasonable to expect him back from the 10-day injured list at some point in June.

Judge (oblique) took soft dry swings prior to Tuesday's game, George A. King III of the New York Post reports.

Judge (oblique) played catch and ran on the field Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a positive step for the slugging outfielder, who hadn't resumed baseball activities since suffering a significant oblique strain in April. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge "continues to show progress" but isn't ready to swing a bat yet, so he still looks to be a ways off from a return.

Judge (oblique) has yet to resume baseball activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge remains limited to working in the weight room and doing range of motion activities as he slowly works his way back from a significant oblique strain. While the slugger has yet to resume baseball activities, manager Aaron Boone said he believes Judge is "making good improvements every day," per Hoch. That said, the skipper failed to offer an updated timeline for Judge's return.

Judge (oblique) is working in the weight room and doing range of motion activities but has yet to resume baseball activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge landed on the injured list almost two weeks ago with a significant left oblique strain, so it's not overly surprising to see slow progress early on in his rehab. The 27-year-old remains without a timeline for his return.

Judge (left oblique strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected, and manager Aaron Boone called the injury a "pretty significant strain" Sunday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. There is no timeline, but Judge is expected to miss significant time with the injury. It appears that Mike Tauchman will be in line for significant playing time, at least in the short term. Thairo Estrada was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
