Aaron Judge on track to return from rib injury for Yankees

Aaron Judge is recovering from a stress fracture in his right rib and has been sidelined since early June. The Yankees, who rank 27th in OPS and 26th in runs scored since Judge's injury, depend on his return to improve their offense. Judge stated his goal is to come back this season and has begun light activity following recent imaging scans. With about 50 days left in the regular season, the need for his presence grows as the Yankees trail the Tampa Bay Rays by 4.5 games in the AL East.
