Aaron Judge is set to return from his nearly two-month long injury absence for the New York Yankees on Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles, having been out since June 3 with a sprained right big toe. 

The 31-year-old has been going through rehab in Tampa, Florida, and was believed to be eyeing to play for the pinstripes against the Mets in the Subway Series, which goes on this week from Tuesday to Thursday.

But, manager Aaron Boone wants his star slugger to be a bit more patient, as he doesn’t want Judge to miss what will be a crucial second-half of the season for a team with a 54-40 record in a competitive AL East with another injury. 

The Yankees lie in last place of their division, so far this season, while the Orioles lead the pack, sitting at 62-39 overall.

Judge suffered a sprain to his right big toe when his foot banged into the lower wall at Dodger Stadium on June 3.

Aaron Judge will return to MLB action later this week after nearly two months on the sidelines
