Yankees see timeline for Aaron Judge's return amid injury struggles

The New York Yankees continue to navigate their season without star outfielder Aaron Judge, who has been sidelined since May 31 due to a right rib stress fracture. Judge had shown strong form prior to his injury, hitting 17 home runs and 38 RBIs in 59 games. Though no official return date has been set, reports suggest Judge may return by mid-September. Jon Heyman indicates that Judge is behind teammates Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton, who are both expected to return around September 1. SNY's Chelsea Janes highlights a potential return during the series against the Mets on the 25th anniversary of September 11, allowing Judge a brief period to adjust before the postseason.
