The New York Yankees will recall Spencer Jones from Triple-A to take the roster spot of Aaron Judge, who is sidelined with a stress fracture in his rib. Judge is expected to miss four to six weeks due to the injury, which has raised concerns about the Yankees' offensive power. Jones, a 6-foot-7 slugger, had a brief stint in the majors earlier this season, recording four hits and 12 strikeouts in 24 at-bats. He performed well in the minors this season, hitting.269 with 13 home runs.
