Aaron Judge takes on-field batting practice, but not ready to talk return date

DENVER — Aaron Judge took a step in the right direction on Friday, testing his right big toe with some on-field batting practice at Coors Field.

Judge, who has been out since tearing a ligament in his toe on June 3, said he didn’t feel limited “at all” while swinging. The outfielder, who is using orthotic insoles, also did some running, though not at full speed.

“I really wouldn’t say pain,” Judge said when asked if he felt any while hitting. “I’d say we’re getting better every single day. Like it’s not healed. So obviously, it is what it is, but we’re progressing every single day.”
