    As Judge prepares to take batting practice, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that the team may be able to give a timetable for the outfielder’s return following the session.

    Judge is serving his second stint on the injured list this season after tearing a ligament in his right toe June 3 while making a catch against a bullpen fence in the outfield of Dodger Stadium.

    He ran the bases Wednesday and said the biggest hurdle for his return is more mental than physical.

    Trevino was batting .210 with four home runs and 15 RBIs this season. He earned his first All-Star nod and Gold Glove Award in 2022, his debut season with the Yankees, finishing the campaign with a .248 batting average, 11 home runs, 12 doubles and 43 RBIs in 115 games.

    In six seasons split between the Texas Rangers (2018-21) and Yankees, Trevino is a career .241 hitter with 24 home runs, 47 doubles and 113 RBIs.

    Rortvedt, 25, played in 39 games for the Minnesota Twins in 2021 and five games for the Yankees earlier this season. He is a career .177 hitter with three home runs and seven RBIs. He will assume a greater role going forward along with Kyle Higashioka.
