The New York Yankees are preparing for a series against the Boston Red Sox this week without Aaron Judge. Judge is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to a rib injury, prompting the Yankees to recall prospect Spencer Jones. Jones, the Yankees' No. 6 prospect, previously struggled in his debut but now aims to help fill the gap left by the star outfielder. The Red Sox see this as an opportunity to improve their season, needing wins to stay in the postseason race. An official transaction to place Judge on the injured list is anticipated before the Friday game.
