New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge plays catch for the first time during his rehabilitation from a broken right rib, according to multiple reports. The three-time American League MVP worked on fielding and throwing progression in New York as part of what team sources describe as a ramp-up process.

Both outlets note that while Judge is making incremental steps in his rehab, his timeline for returning to game action remains unclear. The reports frame the catch session as an early stage of recovery rather than a definitive sign of when he will be activated, emphasizing that he is continuing to build strength and readiness before resuming normal play.

The coverage is largely aligned in what occurred—Judge played catch during rehab—and in the uncertainty surrounding the return date. Neither report provides a specific number of days or a confirmed next milestone, focusing instead on the status of his recovery and progression through the team’s return-to-play process.
