Boone believes Judge's injury won't affect Yankees' trade deadline plans

During a press briefing on July 25, Aaron Boone stated that Aaron Judge's injury will not influence the New York Yankees' approach to the upcoming MLB trade deadline on August 3. Judge has been sidelined since May 31 due to a stress fracture in his right rib and was placed on the 60-day injured list on July 18. Boone expressed confidence in Judge's potential return, noting that the team has no major updates but believes he is healing well. Despite their earlier acquisitions, Boone indicated the Yankees might still look to bolster their roster before the trade deadline, with discussions expected to intensify soon.
