Pearl, chair of the department of vascular surgery at Baylor Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously healing going on, which is good, but still not able to start any baseball activities or anything,\u201d Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers was rained out and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to get to a point to where he\u2019s asymptomatic to where you really start ramping up more upper body stuff,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n<p>Judge is hitting .248 with 17 homers and 38 RBIs but had just one homer in his last 18 games before going on the injured list.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is, you know the the pain is subsiding somewhat over the last couple weeks and changing from that sharp to more of that pull,\u201d Boone said. \u201cSo hopefully he continues to improve there and then we can start upping things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone said how Judge feels will determine when he goes for another scan.<\/p>\n<p>New York was 36-23 when the 34-year-old outfielder last played but is 18-20 since.<\/p>\n<p>His move to the 60-day IL was procedural to open a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Bradley Hanner, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre. Hanner then was optioned back to the RailRiders.<\/p>\n<h3>Clarke Schmidt could return in bullpen<\/h3>\n<p>Clarke Schmidt threw an inning of batting practice for the first time since Tommy John surgery on July 11 last year and said he reached 95 mph.<\/p>\n<p>A 30-year-old right-hander, Schmidt threw four-seamers, sinkers and cutters among 15 pitches to Anthony Volpe and Ali S\u00e1nchez. He did not throw sliders, sweepers or knuckle-curves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot full game feeling with the butterflies and stuff like that, but close to it,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cTo be able to put your stuff on display and be able get back out there after a year is a good feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt had an internal brace in this operation. He had Tommy John surgery in May 2017, a month before the Yankees selected him with the 16th overall pick in the amateur draft.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=6378\">16 US service members have died in the Iran war, reflecting a conflict fought largely in the air<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first one, when you kind of start the bullpen phase, it feels a little yucky at times and you just have a lot more days where you\u2019re like, ah, it doesn\u2019t feel great,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just feels a little more easier where it\u2019s like I don\u2019t have to reach back and have those days where you\u2019re grinding a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt is to throw batting practice again in four or five days. He may return this year as a reliever and is willing to be an opener or a bridge pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that we have a little more limited time for me this year as far as ability to build up the pitch count,\u201d he said. \u201cObviously I\u2019m open to everything as long as I\u2019m out there competing and being able to help the guys. \u2026 I know I\u2019ll be able to be back at some point in some facet this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Possible Giancarlo Stanton return near<\/h3>\n<p>Boone is hopeful designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is nearing a return from a strained right calf that has sidelined him since April 24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a week into the running progression, been hitting,\u201d Boone said. \u201cObviously had a setback, whenever, three, four weeks ago now, but he seems to be moving in a good direction so hopefully getting close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stanton still hasn\u2019t run the bases.<\/p>\n<h3>Max Fried to get another minor league rehab start<\/h3>\n<p>Left-hander Max Fried, out since May 14 because of a left elbow bone bruise, made his first rehab start Friday for Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre against Worcester, allowing two runs and five hits over three innings with three strikeouts and no walks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe looked really good. I watched his whole outing,\u201d Boone said. \u201cHe felt really good. So 52 pitches, so another one in five days. We\u2019ll up that and we\u2019ll see what we\u2019re at from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>George Lombard potentially an option<\/h3>\n<p>Shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk for the RailRiders on Friday night in his return from the injured list. He hadn\u2019t played for Scranton since June 16 because of sprained fingers on his left hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously it\u2019s no secret how highly we think of George,\u201d Boone said. \u201cHad a good game last night, obviously, so he\u2019s certainly more and more in his development pushing himself into the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 21-year-old son of a former major leaguer, Lombard is hitting .239 with five homers, 16 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 43 games at Triple-A.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want him to get going here coming off the injury and start stacking some days,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=6376\">Mbapp\u00e9 starts for France in third-place match vs. England, while Kane and Bellingham sit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/MLB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Aaron Judge will need another scan before a major ramp-up of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Judge will need another scan before major ramp up, is moved to 60-day IL;
