Aaron Judge Cleared for Light Activity Following Rib Injury

Yankees captain Aaron Judge has been cleared to begin light activities, including outdoor running and upper-body resistance work, following imaging on his fractured rib. Sidelined since May 31, the three-time AL MVP remains confident he will return this season. While manager Aaron Boone is optimistic about potential postseason availability, the team notes that Judge must still progress to taking swings, and a specific timeline for his return to the lineup remains unclear.
