The New York Yankees star, Aaron Judge, is anticipated to begin hitting off a tee soon after being placed on the injured list with a strained flexor. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Judge might start hitting within the next couple of days. Boone expressed optimism about Judge’s return after the minimum 10 days injured. He mentioned:

“I think he’s going to start hitting off the tee and some toss today or tomorrow.”

Boone emphasized the need to listen to Judge and the trainers before making any decisions. He added that Judge will not begin throwing for 10 to 15 days, meaning he will initially serve as a designated hitter upon his return. Boone shared:

“If he just DH’d now, he probably would not compromise his UCL. Obviously, throwing would.” Translation: “If he just DH’d now, he probably would not compromise his UCL. Obviously, throwing would.”

Judge’s previous performance included a remarkable .342 batting average with 37 home runs in 103 games. He led various major statistical categories before his injury but is no longer the favorite for the AL MVP; that title now belongs to Cal Raleigh of the Mariners.
