Judge, Chapman have no issues in Monday workout

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had 11 at-bats in a simulated game, and closer Aroldis Chapman threw 22 pitches, perhaps the last steps before both are cleared to return to full action.

Judge faced righthanders A.J. Cole and Chance Adams and minor league left-hander Phillip Diehl at Yankee Stadium on Monday. Judge is recovering from a broken right wrist, sustained when he was hit by a pitch from Kansas City’s Jakob Junis on July 26.

Chapman threw to

Tyler Wade and Kyle Higashioka. He has not pitched in a game since Aug. 21 because of left knee tendinitis. Judge and Chapman did not have any issues Monday, the team said, though the New York Post reported Judge will not return to the lineup Tuesday.

Indians: Trevor

Bauer (stress fracture in right fibula), out since Aug. 11, threw a successful bullpen session Saturday and is to face live hitters Tuesday, and president Chris Antonetti said the team has discussed using the All-star right-hander out of the bullpen in the postseason. Bauer, 27, is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA across 25 starts.

Astros: Gerrit Cole, who was scheduled to start Tuesday, was pushed back to Friday to get extra rest, and fellow righthander Josh James will start Tuesday, manager A.J. Hinch said. James,

25, a rookie, has a 4.22 ERA over 10 2/3 innings in one start and two relief appearances, with 17 strikeouts and four walks.

Dodgers: Left-handed reliever Tony Cingrani (left shoulder strain), out since June 6, and right-handed reliever John Axford (right fibula fracture), out since Aug. 12, were activated, and right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia was recalled from High-a Rancho Cucamonga.

Mariners: Lefthander James Paxton (pneumonia), who hasn’t started since Sept. 7, resumed playing catch Saturday and rejoined the team in Houston but isn’t sure when he’ll rejoin the rotation. He is 11-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 26 starts.

Twins: Catcher Mitch Garver (concussion), who took a foul tip off his mask Wednesday, missed a fifth straight start Monday. Also third baseman Miguel Sano

Orioles: Catcher Chance Sisco, who left Baltimore’s win over the Chicago White

Sox on Sunday after taking a foul tip to the mask that resulted in a chin laceration, is in concussion protocol.

Tigers: An MRI examination showed meniscus damage in Michael Fulmer’s right knee, and the right-hander will get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews before determining his next course of action.

Franco (right shoulder/ neck strain) missed a fifth straight start since flipping over the third-base railing in Philadelphia’s loss to Washington on Sept. 11.
