Aaron Judge has been activated from the IL after a three-month rib fracture and will return to the Yankees’ lineup against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium, a much-needed boost as New York chases the AL East and a possible World Series run; he’ll face live pitching for the first time since May, so rust questions linger despite his proven impact.
Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter is day-to-day with a small right rib fracture after crashing into a wall; Vogt didn’t rule out an injured-list stint, as Cleveland, coming off a 2-1 loss to Milwaukee, copes with multiple injuries thinning the outfield.
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.
The Yankees announced Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in the first rib of his right side and will be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks, with an expected return this season. He had previously been diagnosed with an upper-right rib bone bruise and has slumped since May 17. In his absence, Spencer Jones is likely to fill right field, while Jasson Domínguez begins a rehab assignment and could reclaim an outfield spot alongside Cody Bellinger, potentially reshuffling the defense as the team navigates without its star.
