Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees captain, is still not cleared for baseball activities due to his broken rib. Judge hasn’t played since May 31 because of the stress fracture in his right ribs.
Current Status
Judge had a scan during the All-Star break and called the result positive news. However, he will need another scan before he is cleared for baseball activities and given a time frame for a return.
“Part of it’s healing. The other part of its still trying to bridge together,” Judge said before the Yankees started the second half against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
When he is able to play, Judge doesn’t want to go on a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment. “I hate rehab games, so I got to talk with them about all that, because why waste at-bats in a rehab game?” Judge said.
Team Update
New York was 36-23 when Judge last played but was 18-19 since as the second half began. “I feel good about the fact that he will be back but it’s just a matter of when,” manager Aaron Boone said.
