Aaron Judge Set to Return to Right Field for Yankees After Injury
The New York Yankees are eagerly anticipating the return of their star player, Aaron Judge, to right field.
Since coming off the injured list on August 5, Judge has been back in the lineup swinging his bat, but his team has been missing his presence in the outfield. According to NJ.com’s Randy Miller, Judge’s return to the field is expected to happen this weekend during the Yankees’ series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Field.
Despite his return, Judge’s performance at the plate has been less than stellar, with a batting average of .211 and no home runs in six games. However, the Yankees have stated that his flexor strain in his throwing elbow is not affecting his hitting.
Miller also reports that Judge’s throwing program is progressing well and he may be back in right field by this weekend after only serving as a designated hitter since his return.
Yankees hitting coach James Rowson remains optimistic about Judge’s struggles at the plate, stating that he is getting closer to finding his rhythm and will soon be back to his usual form.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for Judge to get back up to speed in the outfield, but fans can expect to see him back in action this weekend.
