Yankees assess trade options following Aaron Judge injury

The New York Yankees face an uncertain period as Aaron Judge is sidelined with a significant injury. Despite this setback, sources report that the team's current standing allows for some leeway before the trade deadline, which is nearly two months away. ESPN analyst Bradford Doolittle states that the Yankees have sufficient talent in their roster to withstand Judge's absence and suggests potential focus on adding a right-handed bat, third baseman, or bullpen help if they choose to make trades. The return of outfielder Jasson Dominguez and the recent performance of rookie Spencer Jones may also support the Yankees until Judge's return, which could feel like a major addition if the team remains competitive.
