Yankees manager Aaron Boone's plan for Judge, who was placed on the injured list Sunday with a right flexor strain, is based on the expectation that he will return after the minimum 10-day absence. Aaron Judge, who was placed on the injured list with a right flexor strain, will be slotted as the Yankees' designated hitter until he is cleared to throw and return to the outfield. Keith Gillett/Icon SportswireJudge, 33, played first base in high school and has worked out at first base during spring training in recent years. With Judge on the injured list, the Yankees' primary outfield configuration will have Jasson Dominguez in left field, Trent Grisham in center and Cody Bellinger taking over for Judge in right. Boone said Amed Rosario, a utility man acquired from the Washington Nationals on Saturday, will play in the corner outfield spots in addition to third base and second base.
