Judge (wrist) took 11 live at-bats in a simulated game Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was activated off the disabled list Friday but so far has not been allowed to hit in games. A full return now seems imminent though an exact return date has not yet been given.

Judge (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Blue Jays but remains several days away from being able to hit, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been out since late July after fracturing his wrist. He's been able to take on-field batting practice, but the team wants him to hit in some simulated games before he's ready to get an in-game at-bat. He'll be able to field and run the bases, but his fantasy value will be minimal until he's back as a full participant.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge (wrist) will not report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a rehab assignment, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone didn't rule out Judge potentially getting at-bats at the team's minor-league complex, though it's unclear when that would happen. The outfielder is trending in the right direction, as he took batting practice on the field for a third straight day Wednesday, while he resumed throwing Tuesday.

Judge (wrist) threw on the field Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Things seem to be finally trending in the right direction for Judge, who's been out since late July after fracturing his right wrist. He hit on the field Monday and is now throwing as well. His timeline remains murky, as he's still reportedly feeling pain in the wrist, but he appears to be moving forward in his rehab regardless of the pain.

Judge (wrist) took batting practice on the field prior to Monday's series opener against the Twins, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an encouraging sign for the slugger, who was able to take outdoor batting practice for the first time since injuring his wrist near the end of July. Judge was able to take five rounds of BP, and he didn't appear to show any signs of discomfort during or after, according to Boland. The Yankees will obviously wait and see how he feels in the coming days before determining his next step, but he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment within the week if everything checks out OK.

Judge continues to feel pain in his right wrist, although he's scheduled to take outdoor batting practice in Minnesota later in the week, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge took some swings off a tee outside Saturday without issue, and although he's still feeling pain in his wrist, he'll move forward in his rehab. If batting practice goes well, he's expected to embark on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. More news on his status should be revealed following his next hitting session.

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.

Judge (wrist) hit in the batting cage and fielded fly balls prior to Saturday's game at Seattle, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has moved from hitting off a tee after he resumed taking swings Monday, but he has yet to participate in batting practice. The 26-year-old continues to progress slowly but surely, and remains without a definitive timetable for his return.

Judge (wrist) took some swings outside off a tee Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

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. The timetable for Judge's return remains unclear, although a more concrete date should come to light when he progresses to 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.
