Aaron Judge to miss at least 4, 6 weeks with rib stress fracture

sportsJun 5, 202641264

The New York Yankees announced that superstar outfielder Aaron Judge has a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. He will be sidelined at least four to six weeks and will undergo repeat imaging after that to assess healing and determine next steps. The move removes a major power bat from New York's lineup; Judge has 17 home runs and 38 RBIs this season, and the Yankees say they expect him to return this year. His absence forces lineup adjustments during a critical stretch, reducing the team's middle-of-order power and defensive presence.
