Aaron Judge returns.

Aaron Judge returned to the New York Yankees’ lineup Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles, two days after being hit on the left hand by a pitch.

“Kind of went through his treatment today and then went down and hit in the cage and then just kind of came by my office and gave it a thumbs up,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees concluded a three-game series with Baltimore. “So here we go.”

Judge sat out Wednesday as the Yankees lost 7-6 in 10 innings.

Judge was struck by a 94.1 mph fastball from Baltimore starter Albert Suárez during New York’s 4-2 win Tuesday night. The slugger left the game an inning later. X-rays and a CT scan were negative, though Boone said the slugger had some swelling and discomfort.

“I think it’s definitely a good feeling,” Boone said. “Obviously the caliber of player he is but the captain in that room too. So guys rally around him.”
