The New York Yankees diagnosed Aaron Judge with a stress fracture of the right first rib and said he will be reimaged in approximately four to six weeks to determine healing and next steps. Judge, a three-time American League MVP, will be sidelined for that 4-to-6-week period but the club said they expect him to return this season. The Yankees sent Judge to a Dallas specialist as part of the evaluation. Losing Judge for at least a month removes the centerpiece of New York's lineup and forces the team to reshuffle its offense during a pivotal stretch of the schedule.
