Aaron Judge Aims to Bypass Minor League Rehab Stint

Yankees star Aaron Judge is managing his recovery from a right rib stress fracture and aims to avoid a minor league rehab assignment upon his return. Nearing the three-month mark of his recovery, Judge has begun taking swings in indoor cages and recently started running and throwing in the outfield. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed the plan for the three-time AL MVP to remain with the major league club throughout the remainder of his recovery process.
