New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge did some on-field work at Yankee Stadium prior to Thursday’s series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays as he continues his recovery from a flexor strain in his right elbow.

The Yankees, who entered Tuesday with a 57-49 record and a 5½-game deficit in the American League East, have attempted to help offset Judge's absence by acquiring two new hitters over the last few days: third baseman Ryan McMahon and utility infielder Amed Rosario.
