Although Judge “can do a bit more each and every day,” Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone stated the slugger is “not to the point where he’s running or doing complete baseball things yet.” Judge included that his motion is restricted due to discomfort.

However if I can’t move, that’s the primary obstacle we need to overcome. … The most significant thing is, the huge toe is what you press off the rear end (when) striking. I have actually got to ensure (there is) the balance, and having the ability to move the weight is going to be the most significant secret. As soon as we overcome that obstacle, then we enter into running and striking.”
Boone stated he’s positive Judge will go back to the lineup eventually this season: “That’s an outright. I can’t state that about anybody. However yeah, I seem like he’s going to be back … He’s certainly as hard as they come and you understand he wishes to be back out there.”
