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.

Aaron Boone called it a good step, but Judge remains without a potential timeline for a return to the outfield as the team continues taking the cautious approach.

Nearly five hours before first pitch Sunday, Aaron Judge took an important step in his return to the field. The Yankees captain threw from right field to second base for the first time, viewed as a key and possibly last step in his throwing progression as he comes back from a flexor strain.
