Aaron Judge's Rehab Progress: Hitting Off Tee, Surgery Decision Looms

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has started light hitting drills as part of his rehab process for a toe injury sustained a month ago. Judge is slowly ramping up his activities and is not close to being 100 percent healthy. He expects to deal with some level of pain in his toe for the rest of the season but has ruled out in-season surgery. The timeline for his return is still unclear, but Judge is focused on building strength and tolerating the pain before coming back. He anticipates using a special insole in his cleat to prevent his toe from flexing when he returns.
