Before Saturday’s loss, Yankees manager Aaron Boone reiterated that Judge is throwing out to 150 feet and that “hopefully we’re getting close” to him returning to the outfield. He mentioned that Judge could start throwing to bases from right field soon as a way to get ready for a return to in-game action.

After the Yankees were blown out by the Red Sox, star Aaron Judge would send an eager message to the rest of the team.

Aaron Judge didn’t waste words after Saturday’s 12–1 humiliation against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. He didn’t shield his teammates. He didn’t lean on manager-speak about turning the page. He put the responsibility right where it belongs, on the players around him in the room.
