The New York Yankees will feel encouraged if all goes well Sunday when Aaron Judge faces live pitching for the first time since tearing a ligament in his right big toe.
After Judge faces reliever Jonathan Loaisiga -- who is rehabbing from an elbow injury -- in the simulated game, the Yankees hope to enjoy things even more by completing a sweep of the visiting Kansas City Royals later in the day.
New York manager Aaron Boone called his offense "a little bit" improved since hitting .210 in the first six games after the All-Star break. The Yankees also struck out 42 times while getting swept against the Los Angeles Angels in the last three games of that span. The Yankees are 17-22 since Judge was hurt on June 3 crashing into the right field fence at Dodger Stadium. Judge has progressed to taking batting practice on the field and last week watched pitches during a simulated game.
"I thought the guys competed well," Quatraro said. "We didn't take advantage of every opportunity, but you're not going to on a daily basis."
