He said he felt good enough in recent days and without pain that the decision was made he would begin hitting again.“Just moving in the right direction. Definitely a big step,” Judge said, sitting in the Oakland Coliseum dugout. “I’m kind of on track with what we kind of wanted to accomplish, so I’m excited about the progress we’re making so far. It feels good. So I’ve just got to keep moving forward, keep having good days and just keep kind of building off that. Hopefully ramp it up here in the next couple days and be back out there soon.”Judge could take live batting practice as soon as this weekend.BACK IN THE BAYNew Yankees right fielder Andrew McCutchen received warm applause after his lineup introduction. He arrived in the Bronx on Friday http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-rougned-odor-jersey , played for his new club all weekend then returned right back to the Bay Area where he’d been with the Giants.McCutchen led off the game with a single, stole second, reached third on catcher Jonathan Lucroy’s error and scored the game’s first run.TRAINER’S ROOMYankees: SS Didi Gregorius, sidelined with a bruised left heel he hurt Aug. 19 in a collision with Toronto’s Kendrys Morales beating out an infield single, is set to run the bases Tuesday and Boone said he is “very close to a return.” … New York outrighted OF Shane Robinson and LHP Ryan Bollinger to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.Athletics: LHP Brett Anderson (strained pitching forearm) is slated to throw off a mound Wednesday. … The A’s acquired RHP Aaron Brooks from the Brewers for cash and designated LHP Danny Coulombe for assignment.UP NEXTJ.A. Happ (15-6, 4.00 ERA) starts Tuesday night and is 5-0 with a 3.38 ERA over six starts since joining New York from the Blue Jays before the trade deadline. Oakland had yet to name a starter for the middle game of the series. Thearon W. Henderson/Getty ImagesRight fielder Andrew McCutchen has been traded for the second time in 2018.The New York Yankees announced on Friday they acquired McCutchen and cash considerations from the San Francisco Giants for minor leaguersAbiatal Avelino and Juan De Paula.The move comes after McCutchen was traded to the Giants in January from the Pittsburgh Pirates, with whom he had become an extremely popular figure among fans during a nine-year stay with the team.Few players in McCutchen's generation can match his accomplishments. He is a five-time All-Star, 2012 Gold Glove award winner and 2013 National League MVP. While he was a center fielder for most of his career Cole Hamels Jersey , he moved to right field in 2017 as a member of the Pirates and remained there in San Francisco.He posted a .255/.357/.415 slash line with the Giants, which was below the standards he set during his prime years in Pittsburgh.McCutchen drilled more than 20 home runs in seven straight seasons from 2011 to 2017 and hit above .280 six times, going above .300 in three of those seasons. He has established himself as a multi-tool player who can hurt opposing teams with his bat, glove and power.He still figures to bring some of that upside to the Yankees at just 31 years old, and he will hope a change of scenery brings an improvement in his form.It's not particularly surprising that the Giants moved McCutchen.Jon Paul Morosiof MLB Network reported multiple teams were linked to him in trade discussions prior to this swap.Even though San Francisco was still alive in the National League West race, it secured a return for McCutchen ahead of his free agency in the offseason.With both Aaron Judge (wrist) and Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) on the disabled list, the Yanks were in need of outfield depth.Once Judge comes back, the Yankees will have the option of rotating McCutchen http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-russell-wilson-jersey , Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks in the outfield with Giancarlo Stanton as the designated hitter.McCutchen is no longer the MVP-caliber player he once was, but due to his combination of experience, pop, speed and defensive acumen, he is a great fit on a Yankees team looking to contend for a championship.
