Judge (wrist) is slated to take batting practice on the field by the middle of the upcoming week, Marc Carig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge completed an indoor batting-practice session Saturday without any reported setbacks and looks ready to move on to the next phase of the recovery process. If the outdoor BP goes according to plan, Judge could join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a rehab assignment a few days later. Judge has yet to do any reported work in the outfield since being shut down with the wrist injury, so he would likely be limited to serving as a designated hitter initially if he joins the Triple-A club.

EDGE Analysis
Judge resumed swinging a bat Monday for the first time since suffering the injury. It's positive news that he managed to take swings outside, although he's yet to participate in batting practice.

Judge (wrist) was able to swing a bat Monday for the first time since breaking his wrist back in late July, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge seems to be finally trending in the right direction, though his return date remains murky. He was only able to take dry swings and swings off a tee, and while he didn't feel pain in his wrist after the session, he'll need to take full batting practice before his recovery can be more properly assessed. The Yankees' acquisition of Andrew McCutchen provides them with adequate cover in right field, and they appear to have a Wild Card spot all but locked up, so they can afford to be cautious with the young slugger.

Judge (wrist) still has no timetable for his return but manager Aaron Boone said Friday, "We believe Aaron will absolutely be back [this season]), Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier this week Judge was still unable to swing at full strength, so it's unsurprising the Yankees don't have an official return date in mind. The team still appears optimistic of Judge's chances to return to full strength in the next couple weeks.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge (wrist) is still not swinging or throwing at full strength, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge is apparently having issues with the turning and whipping action of the wrist. The Yankees are hoping to have him back sometime between Sept. 6 and Sept. 13, though that timetable could ultimately get pushed back if his wrist keeps giving him trouble. While Judge's recovery is moving much slower than expected, Boone noted that he's confident the outfielder will be back at full strength this season.

Judge (wrist) continues to feel pain in his wrist, and he isn't ready to resume swinging a bat Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge remains on the disabled list after suffering a chip fracture in his right wrist at the end of July. Although the Yankees were hopeful he'd miss around three weeks, Judge is still dealing with pain which is impeding his recovery progress. He's expected to return from the shelf sometime between Sept. 6 and Sept. 13 barring any further setbacks.

Judge (wrist) is still not swinging a bat and isn't expected to return for another two or three weeks, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was initially expected to return after three weeks, but he's already been out for longer than that and isn't close to returning. His new timetable has him returning six or seven weeks after breaking his wrist, which would put him on track to return sometime between Sept. 6 and Sept. 13.

Judge (wrist) still has not resumed swinging, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge had his wrist wrapped following Sunday's game and said that he's still dealing with pain in the area because it's still healing. The slugger will remain without a concrete timetable for his return until he's able to resume swinging, though that will only happen when the pain in his wrist has fully subsided.

Judge (wrist) was too sore after throwing to take some swings Friday, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manger Aaron Boone stated Judge had a chance to resume swinging Friday, but after playing catch, Judge was dealing with soreness in his wrist. He'll likely take some cuts over the next few days, which keeps the door open for a late August return. A more concrete timeline for Judge's return should come into focus once he manages to at least take dry swings.
