Yankees Gear Up for Quick Comebacks as Fried Hits IL and Bellinger Returns

The Yankees placed Max Fried on a 15-day IL with an elbow bone bruise but expect a short absence, with Carlos Rodón ready as a starter depth option; if Fried misses a few starts, Will Warren or Ryan Weathers could shift to the bullpen. Cody Bellinger begins a Triple-A rehab and could rejoin the MLB lineup within days after a hamstring strain, likely pushing Spencer Jones down; Aaron Judge's rib injury remains the biggest unknown, though he can begin a hitting progression this week as New York chases a Wild Card behind the Rays in the AL East.

Judge Takes First Step Toward Yankees Return With Catch Progress

Aaron Judge played catch Friday for the first time since his right rib stress fracture, marking a meaningful step toward a late-season return for the Yankees with six weeks left. Boone indicated there’s more to do before Judge can swing a bat, as he has not played or swung a bat since May and is early in baseball activities after a recent reimaging showed healing.

Lombard Jr. Breaks Through as Yankees Shuffle Lineup After Quiet Deadline

Yankees promote 21-year-old shortstop George Lombard Jr. to the majors after a rapid minor-league ascent and set him to debut as they demote Anthony Volpe, Jasson Domínguez, and Angel Chivilli; the club also added Luis García Jr. and Heliot Ramos to spark a stagnant offense, while the deadline yielded few blockbuster moves. General manager Brian Cashman flagged optimism on Aaron Judge’s return this season as he undergoes rib imaging, and Mantle’s family participated in a ceremonial first pitch in Somerset.

Judge’s Return Hangs in the Balance as Rib Injury Heals Slowly

Aaron Judge remains sidelined with a rib injury; latest imaging shows slow healing and no clear path to rejoining the Yankees this season. Even if he’s cleared to swing again, he’ll need time to ramp up and rehab, making a late-season return unlikely and prompting questions about 2027, leaving the Yankees to consider midseason roster adjustments to offset the absence.

Yankees Survive Dodgers But Judge Absence Sparks Mets-Like Woes

The Yankees sit with the AL’s second-best record but feel awful without Aaron Judge, who is weeks from return. They salvaged the Dodgers series finale with a 2-1 doubleheader win, but scored only five runs over the weekend. With Judge out, the lineup struggles while Rays, Red Sox, and Orioles surge, and seven AL teams are above .500, fueling a Mets-like warning sign about their ceiling this season.

Yankees Elevate Hanner to MLB, Shuffle Judge to 60-Day IL

Yankees Elevate Hanner to MLB, Shuffle Judge to 60-Day IL

The Yankees signed right-hander Bradley Hanner to a big-league contract and added him to the 40-man roster, optioning him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. To clear 40-man space, New York moved Aaron Judge from the 10‑day injured list to the 60‑day IL after a left rib fracture, delaying his return to late July or August. Hanner has strong Triple-A numbers (1.99 ERA, ~29% strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings) and is a 2019 21st-round pick who spent time in the Twins and Guardians systems before joining the Yankees—a move that formalizes his place in the organization and could lead to a big-league debut soon.

Ohtani no-hitter, Skubal trade, Braves fall: five bold MLB second-half predictions

CBS Sports’ Mike Axisa offers five bold second-half predictions: the Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal but still win the AL Central; Aaron Judge returns in September and leads MLB in home runs the rest of the year; a sub-.500 team will make the AL playoffs; Shohei Ohtani will throw the first single-pitcher no-hitter since 2024 (potentially Sept. 7 vs. the Diamondbacks); and the Atlanta Braves will miss the postseason.

Yankees Eye Lombard Jr. Debut as Judge Progresses in Rehab

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Aaron Judge will undergo rib imaging during the All-Star Break with a return still possible this season, while the club pivots toward catcher upgrades and late bullpen help at the trade deadline; top prospect George Lombard Jr. is nearing a Triple-A return and could make his MLB debut later this season, providing an internal option if Judge’s recovery drags.

Judge: Yankees must sharpen focus to snap skid

Aaron Judge publicly criticized the Yankees' lack of focus during a six-game skid, urging players to 'do your job' as defense struggles (eight errors, 15 unearned runs) and the offense slumps in a five-game stretch. With players shuffled by injuries and illnesses, Judge said the team is trying to do too much and stressed trust in teammates behind him; reinforcements like Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon could arrive later in the week, while his rib-imaging timeline remains unclear.

Yankees Rebuild Outfield On The Fly Without Aaron Judge

With Aaron Judge sidelined by a rib fracture, the Yankees must remap their outfield around Cody Bellinger in left and Trent Grisham in center, while right field remains a rotation among Caballero, Jones and Schuemann. Domínguez and Stanton’s return adds further variables, but there’s no clear optimal configuration, leaving Boone to weigh defensive fit against offense as he lines up the lineup for the Guardians series.

Judge’s rib setback tests Yankees’ resilience

Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of his right first rib, marking another major injury absence for the Yankees. Past seasons have seen Judge miss substantial time due to a wrist fracture (2018), an oblique strain (2019), and a toe sprain (2023). Managers say he’s expected back this year, but there will be no new imaging for about a month, effectively guaranteeing at least a quarter of the season out as the team navigates life without its star.

Ali Sánchez Promoted as Yankees Shuffle Catcher Duties Amid Judge Injury

The Yankees demote backup catcher J.C. Escarra and promote Ali Sánchez, providing a right-handed catching option while Aaron Judge recovers from a rib fracture. The move comes as Judge’s absence prompts lineup adjustments and could influence late-season decisions and trade-deadline plans, with players like Spencer Jones, Jasson Domínguez, and Giancarlo Stanton likely to take on bigger roles.
