NEW YORK — Yankees captain Aaron Judge already is progressing toward returning from the 10-day injured list when he’s first eligible after losing his campaign to keep playing with a right flexor strain. Two days after Judge went on the IL, he resumed light hitting in a batting cage before Tuesday night’s Yankees-Rays’ game.

Aaron Judge's elbow injury has altered the Yankees' plans during a down month of July — and could have altered them more, according to a new report.
