DENVER — New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge took batting practice and ran in the Coors Field outfield Friday as he recovers from a torn ligament in his right big toe.
“I kind of wanted to test it here in the Mile High City a little bit,” Judge said before the Yankees’ 7-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies in their first game following the All-Star break.
The reigning American League MVP said he’s been fitted with an insole for support.
New York manager Aaron Boone said he’s encouraged by Judge’s progress, both running and hitting. He was asked if Judge could return to the lineup in July.
