Save for later

Yankees captain Aaron Judge went to Somerset, New Jersey, for live batting practice as he tries to work his way back from a leg injury to be available later in the postseason should New York advance. Sidelined since Sept. 16 by a strained right calf, Judge was not included on the roster for the AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox. Judge ran in the outfield before Tuesday night’s game and went to the ballpark of the Yankees’ Double-A farm team to hit.

He was due back at Yankee Stadium to watch Game 2. If New York advances to a best-of-five Division Series against Tampa Bay, it would start Saturday.
