Yankees Provide Encouraging Updates on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton
By Parker White
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has slowly but surely been working his way back from an oblique injury, and just last week, manager Aaron Boone said that he could return in time for the London series against the Boston Red Sox.
That seems to be a realistic possibility, as Boone said on Monday that Judge has been "ramping up" against high velocity and could play in a minor league game this weekend.
Aaron Judge is “ramping up” against a high velocity machine and performing arc runs today, Aaron Boone said. He could play in a @MiLB game this weekend.

If he doesn't have any setbacks and the oblique feels good when swinging the bat against live pitching, there's no reason he shouldn't be back with the team in the near future.
Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch also reported that Giancarlo Stanton is scheduled to play for Single-A Tampa on Tuesday and Wednesday before getting a day off and then reporting to Triple-A Scranton.
Giancarlo Stanton is scheduled to play with @TampaTarpons tomorrow and Wednesday. He will have an off-day Thursday, then join @swbrailriders to continue his rehab.

These are the two boppers in the Yankee lineup. The quicker they can get back, the sooner this offense evolves and becomes an even bigger powerhouse.
