Aaron Judge faces live pitching as Trent Grisham lands on injured list
Summary

Yankees captain Aaron Judge is scheduled to face live pitching on Monday, marking a significant step in his recovery from a stress fracture. The team intends for Judge to participate in multiple live batting practice sessions before returning to the active lineup, potentially during the coming week. Meanwhile, the Yankees confirmed outfielder Trent Grisham will likely miss the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Grisham, who previously spent time on the injured list for a similar injury in June, was officially placed on the roster move on Saturday. Separately, closer David Bednar noted he refined his splitter by studying the delivery of former pitcher Hideo Nomo. Bednar, who learned the grip during his time with the San Diego Padres in 2017, currently utilizes the pitch as a primary weapon out of the bullpen.
