Judge sidelined by rib fracture; Yankees plot replacements for a late-summer return

Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in his upper-right rib and will miss about 4-6 weeks, with a likely return in August after rest and minor-league rehab. The Yankees have Spencer Jones and Jasson Domínguez as in-house options, may use Jose Caballero/Max Schuemann against specific right- or left-handed hitters, and could explore veterans or the waiver/trade market for a right-handed outfielder. The injury dampens New York’s chances to win the AL East but they should still contend for a playoff spot thanks to strong pitching; milestones like 400 homers and a potential 70-WAR career mark are likely on hold for now.

Judge Out 4–6 Weeks With Rib Stress Fracture, Yankees Eye August Return

Aaron Judge was diagnosed with a rib stress fracture on his right side and will be reevaluated in 4–6 weeks. The Yankees expect him back before season’s end, likely in August, and he’ll be placed on the injured list (starting with a 10-day IL and possibly moving to 60 days). Tests were conducted to rule out thoracic outlet syndrome, and the injury follows a year when Judge battled through a May slump. The club will need depth as he undergoes rehab and returns to baseball activity later in the season.

Mets' Grae Kessinger sidelined by significant hamstring injury; surgery possible

Mets infielder Grae Kessinger is sidelined with a “pretty significant” hamstring injury, with surgery on the table and an 8–12 week recovery timeline. If he avoids surgery, he could return around Memorial Day as a depth option; with Lindor, Polanco, Semien, Bichette, and Baty starting regularly, the Mets’ utility-infielder job will be scarce and competitive, with Brujan, Cluff, Arroyo and Mauricio among spring contenders for the bench role.
