Aaron Judge back in uniform as Yankees host Rockies
After missing 84 games, Judge has finally been cleared to return to the New York Yankees' lineup.
After being sidelined for 84 games, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has been cleared to return to the team's lineup. The Bronx Bombers activated Judge from the 60-day injured list on Monday, a day before they welcome the Colorado Rockies for the start of a six-game homestand. The three-time Most Valuable Player had not played since May 31 due to a stress fracture in his right rib.
Judge made it clear he did not want to take at-bats in a minor league rehab assignment when he spoke on August 27. On Monday, he was scheduled to face live pitching at Yankee Stadium after taking a day off. Judge had been cleared to resume baseball activities back in August and progressed from throwing and running during the Yankees' 10-game homestand to taking batting practice on the field twice during a weekend trip to San Diego.
