Aaron Judge cleared for light activity as Yankees hope for postseason return

Aaron Judge has been cleared for light activity after undergoing imaging on his injured rib. Yankees manager Aaron Boone reported that Judge can now engage in running and strength training, marking progress after having no timetable for further imaging earlier last week. Judge has been sidelined since May 31 due to a stress fracture in his upper-right rib, which raises concerns about his return to baseball shape. The next step for Judge is to be cleared for baseball activities, including swinging a bat, as the Yankees aim for his health in time for the postseason.
