The New York Yankees are navigating the situation surrounding Aaron Judge's rib injury, which has kept him out of the lineup on June 3. Judge is scheduled to see a specialist on June 4 to assess the injury and potential recovery timeline. If his absence extends, the Yankees' options for replacement are limited, with Jasson Dominguez still recovering from a shoulder injury and other candidates like Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario lacking recent experience in the outfield. The team may consider integrating slugging prospect Spencer Jones, who struggled in his recent MLB debut, as a possible solution. The outcome of the specialist's evaluation will significantly influence the team's next steps.
