Aaron Judge from Yankees works on outfield exercises with Giancarlo Stanton

One day after Aaron Judge started his hit progression, the Yankees -Superster took another step in his recovery from a right elbow flexor voltage.

He played balls in the right field next to Giancarlo Stanton before the Yankees de Rays, with 5-4, defeated in 11 innings on Wednesday evening in the Bronx, although he did not make throws and instead just turned to the Infield.

But for a short piece of pregame, the Yankees got a glimpse of their plan A – judge who was eventually an option for the field again – and their plan B, with Stanton a potential back -up plan for Starts in the right should serve as a Judge longer as a designated hitter after return and throw again.

The Yankees Hope Judge, who has not played since Friday and has received a PRP injection the next day, will simply spend the minimum on the 10-day wounded list and return if their DH is eligible on Tuesday.

Stanton made light throwing during the pregame training in the midst of a piece when he continues to test whether playing the field is a possibility for the first time since 2023.

He told Peter Botte by Peter Botte on Sunday that he had the feeling that he could play the outfield and be ‘good’, but for a player who struggled with injuries – including this year, when he missed most of the first half of the season with tendinitis in both elbows – every extra movement comes with an extra risk during his career.

“I think he would like to do it and begins to introduce it and we just have to see it,” said Aaron Boone manager about Stanton, who went 1-out-5 with a late Rbi single Wednesday.

Judge, who experienced pain for the first time while making a throw last Tuesday and felt it again on Friday, hit .342 with a 1,160 Ops and 37 homers at the time of his injury.

Jasson Domínguez, who struggled in the left field, made a jump in the wall in the 10th – when the rays had loaded the bases – to limit Tampa Bay to just a sacrificial battle.

Domínguez said he practiced so catches and had the feeling that he had done it before when he approached the wall, while Boone said: “That game is getting away there [without the catch]. “

“Hell of a play, man,” Ryan McMahon said. “I mean, it’s so uncomfortable to get close to a wall or something, and I feel that he went into it without fear.”

Tim Hill, who took the victory by throwing a perfect 11th, was originally on a down day after throwing two of the last three games.

He has not allowed a deserved point in 25 of his last 30 performances.

The Yankees have activated JC Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Pregame to free up space for outfielder Austin Slater, who makes Ben Rice The back -up catcher for now.

Rice started working at Catcher again when Stanton was approaching a return of his injury in June and spent time there in the minors, and he appeared in 13 games (with six starts) behind the record for the Yankees.

Boone said Luis Gil Feels “ready to go” after his fourth rehabilitation start on Tuesday, and he would stand in line to start Sunday after collecting a 5.65 ERA in four rehabilitation steps while repairing a LAT tribe.

Logan Paul was on the field pregame and spoke with judge. … The Yankees had a moment of silence for former Cubs star and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, who died on Monday at the age of 65 after a fight with prostate cancer, before the game.
