Yankees slugger Aaron Judge's right arm flexor strain continues to hinder his return to the outfield. Manager Aaron Boone reports Judge is progressing through a throwing program but doesn't expect him to throw at full capacity this season, prioritizing his safety. While Judge has returned as a designated hitter, his offensive production has notably decreased since the injury. The Yankees are cautiously managing his recovery, with uncertainty surrounding his outfield return, possibly impacting his overall performance.
