Yankees GM acknowledges uncertainty over Aaron Judge's return

Aaron Judge has not played for the New York Yankees since May 31 due to a stress fracture in his rib. General manager Brian Cashman admitted that while the team remains optimistic about Judge's return, he cannot rule out the possibility that Judge may miss the remainder of the season. The Yankees acquired Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos at the trade deadline, indicating preparations for Judge's potential continued absence. Judge had a.907 OPS and 17 home runs in 59 games before his injury, and his absence alongside other injured players like Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger is being felt more acutely by the team as they aim for postseason success.
