Puts on power display Judge hit a pair of home runs Sunday in the Yankees' 6-0 exhibition victory over the Mets.

Impact Though he missed all of spring training with a fractured rib and four days of summer camp with a stiff neck, Judge looks like he'll be ready to go for Thursday's season opener versus the Nationals. The outfielder returned to the intrasquad lineup last Wednesday and hit a home run in that contest before adding two more long balls to his ledger Sunday. Judge's health remains a valid concern after he missed at least 50 games in both of the past two seasons, but his fantasy managers can at least install him in their lineups with some level of confidence to begin the 2020 campaign.

Slated to be No. 2 starter Paxton will start the Yankees' second regular-season contest, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Wednesday that Paxton will follow ace Gerrit Cole in the rotation for the team's season-opening series against the Nationals. The announcement comes as little surprise, especially considering Masahiro Tanaka's (concussion) questionable readiness for the start of the season. Paxton tossed his first intrasquad game of summer camp Wednesday, giving up home runs to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, but otherwise looked sharp with five strikeouts over four innings.

Ready for intrasquad action Judge (neck) will play in Wednesday's intrasquad game, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Progressing toward return Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge is feeling "much better today," Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was absent from the lineup for Tuesday's intrasquad game, but he was in the outfield shagging balls in batting practice after the game. Judge also participated in batting practice earlier Tuesday, so he appears to be nearing his return from the bout of neck stiffness that has limited him over the past few days.

Won't play in intrasquad game Judge (neck) is not in the lineup for the Yankees' intrasquad game Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Judge showed up to camp healthy after recovering from a fractured rib that dated back to the end of last season, but he's been dealing with a stiff neck over the last few days. He was able to take batting practice Tuesday, a good sign for his Opening Day availability, but he'll wait at least one more day before returning to game action.
