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.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge (wrist) was able to play catch and could begin taking dry swings prior to Friday's game, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Judge is able to resume swinging Friday, or even sometime within the next couple days, there remains a chance that he could return to the fold before the end of August. Just playing catch was a big step forward for the outfielder, especially considering he received a cortisone shot in the wrist earlier this week due to some lingering discomfort. Once he's able to begin taking real cuts, a better idea of his eventual return will come into view.

General manager Brian Cashman said Judge (wrist) had a cortisone injection Tuesday and was able to do a couple outfield drills prior to Wednesday's game, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cashman stayed away from getting into any specifics regarding Judge's condition, so his timetable remains murky as we approach the initial three-week timeframe for the slugger to resume "swinging in game situations." Though that has clearly been pushed back -- as Judge has yet to resume swinging at all -- the outfielder has been making gradual progress, including tossing balls into a bucket and getting in some underwater work.

Judge (wrist) still has not resumed swinging, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has been doing work in the pool and is expected to get some tests done in the coming days to determine how his fractured wrist is healing. An updated timetable for his recovery will hopefully come forth after he's reevaluated.

Judge has yet to pick up a bat but ran the bases Thursday as he works to regain full range of motion in his right wrist, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was expected to begin taking dry swings during the club's series in Chicago earlier this week but remains well behind the initial timetable of three weeks, even though that was fairly optimistic. It has now been two weeks since Judge landed on the disabled list, and at this rate, it looks increasingly likely that the outfielder may not return until September.
