Aaron Judge is continuing to progress but has lingering pain in his broken wrist and is still not at the point where he can swing a bat, Aaron Boone said.
Judge, who was hit by a pitch on July 26 and was originally given a three-week timetable, seems likely to miss more than that now that two weeks have passed and the pain, while improved, isn't completely gone. Boone said Judge ran the bases Thursday and his range of motion is getting better, but until he can swing and impact the ball without feeling pain, the Yankees will not risk hurting him more. He was scheduled to see the doctor again Thursday night.
"I feel like we're close to that point" of swinging the bat, Boone said. "Once the pain is out of there, then it's a go. ... He's been able to lift. He's been able to do all his conditioning. ... I think it progresses pretty quickly" after he starts swinging.
Gary Sanchez (groin) was scheduled to run the bases Thursday and will stay in Tampa through the weekend as he rehabs, Boone said. Sanchez will fly to New York on Sunday night and work out with the team on Monday.
