Aaron Judge out through at least the All-Star break with rib injury

The New York Yankees announced on June 4 that Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in his right rib and will be sidelined until at least the All-Star break. Following significant testing after his last game on May 31, the Yankees have stated that Judge needs a period of rest and limited activity. He will be evaluated again in four to six weeks, with the potential for surgery pending further assessment. Judge, a three-time American League MVP, has 17 home runs this season and was part of a Yankees team that lost two of three games to the Cleveland Guardians shortly after his injury announcement. The Yankees are currently half a game behind Tampa Bay in the AL East.
