Overview
- Ken Rosenthal reported Saturday that Judge will travel with the Yankees for their six-game road trip to Los Angeles and San Diego to continue on-field rehab work.
- The team views the Sept. 8–13 homestand against Colorado and the Mets as a plausible window for his return if scans and symptoms remain favorable.
- The Yankees have not decided whether Judge will do a brief minor-league rehab assignment or return after simulated hitting and advanced pitching-machine work.
- Club medical staff are following a symptom-based, scan-guided protocol that requires bone healing checks and game-rep readiness before any activation.
- New York’s offense has dipped since Judge’s May 31 exit, and his return could change lineup construction and roster moves as the club prepares for the final stretch and postseason run.
