Aaron Judge sidelined with rib cage injury against Guardians

Aaron Judge is not in the New York Yankees' starting lineup for their game against the Cleveland Guardians on June 3, 2026, due to a bone bruise in his right rib cage. Yankees manager Aaron Boone reported that the injury also affects Judge's shoulder during swings. Judge is considered day to day, but the possibility of a stint on the injured list is not ruled out. He has struggled at the plate recently, with only one home run and 19 strikeouts in his last 68 at-bats. Judge is expected to visit a specialist for further evaluation of his injury.
