As the New York Yankees continue to flounder, there appears to be some good news involving Aaron Judge.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Tuesday the reigning AL MVP is "getting close" to returning, and he didn't rule out July 25 against the New York Mets as a potential target date.

Judge has been out of action since June 3 when he injured his toe crashing into the fence while making a catch in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
