TAMPA, Fla. _ Aaron Judge was an early arrival for spring training last February, a habit for the right fielder since he's been with the Yankees.
But Judge, coming off arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder in late November 2017, was limited both in what he could accomplish at the club's minor-league complex _ where players who report early get their work in _ and through the first part of spring training.
That has not been the case this spring, and it won't be. The 26-year-old has been a presence at the minor-league complex for well over a week, with none of the limitations of a year ago.
