Aaron Judge reveals he played with fractured rib since late April

Aaron Judge addressed reporters on June 5 regarding a stress fracture in his right rib, sustained on April 27 while diving for a ball. He played 30 games with the injury, which he believes worsened on May 3 after hitting the wall during a catch. The Yankees expect Judge to be sidelined for at least four to six weeks, during which he will be re-evaluated. Despite his struggles at the plate in May, Judge described the injury's impact on his performance and mentioned the need to contribute while other teammates are injured. Spencer Jones was recalled to take Judge's roster spot ahead of the Yankees' series against the Red Sox.
