Aaron Judge Remains Sidelined With Rib Stress Fracture

Aaron Judge continues to recover from a stress fracture in his rib cage that has kept him out since May 31. While recent MRI scans indicate some healing, the Yankees captain has not yet been cleared for baseball activities. The team is awaiting a final medical review to determine the next steps in his rehabilitation. Despite the delay, Judge remains adamant that he will return to the field at some point during the 2026 season.
