Aaron Judge's return to Yankees potentially set for September 1

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, sidelined since early June with a right rib stress fracture, shows signs of recovery. Judge reported some healing during recent medical evaluations but is still not fully recovered. MLB insider Jon Heyman speculates his return could be around September 1, but this is not an official timeline. The Yankees have struggled without Judge, posting an 18-19 record since his injury. They currently rank 22nd in runs and 23rd in wRC+ during this stretch, making his return even more crucial as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers starting this evening.
