NEW YORK — Yankees captain Aaron Judge took the next step in his throwing program on Sunday afternoon, making throws from right field to second base for the first time this month. Judge had been building up to around 150 feet in his long-toss program as he continues to build back up from a right flexor strain.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is now throwing to bases for the first time since he was injured, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Judge has been injured since late July, currently playing designated hitter while Giancarlo Stanton takes an unlikely turn back in the outfield after two years away.

Judge took another step in his recovery from an elbow injury on Sunday, but the New York Yankees star tried to temper expectations ahead of his team's series finale against the Boston Red Sox.
