Yankees captain Aaron Judge was diagnosed with a bone bruise near his right shoulder, manager Aaron Boone announced. Judge, the reigning AL MVP, reported soreness that has been troubling him for weeks, potentially stemming from a diving play. Boone indicated that Judge's swinging is more affected than his throwing. The team is hopeful that the injury is not serious and will have more clarity after Judge undergoes further examination by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad. In Judge's absence, Jose Caballero started in right field for the Yankees' game against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.
