Yankees receive positive update on Aaron Judge's injury recovery

The New York Yankees announced progress in Aaron Judge's recovery from injury. Manager Aaron Boone reported that Judge has been cleared for light activity, which includes outdoor running and upper body resistance exercises. He has been on the injured list since May 31 and last played over two months ago. Judge's return could significantly boost the Yankees' offense as they look to improve their play following an active trade deadline that included acquiring Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos.
