Aaron Judge makes progress toward returning for Wild Card Series

Aaron Judge's status for the Yankees' Wild Card Series against the Red Sox remains uncertain as they prepare for Game 1 on Tuesday. Judge has been on the injured list since September 16 due to a calf strain. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Judge is 'making progress,' having taken swings in the batting cage and possibly participating in live batting practice. Boone emphasized that a final roster decision will depend on medical assessments. Judge's presence could significantly strengthen a Yankees lineup that has missed his production this season.
