Yankees' Aaron Judge: NY remains optimistic about return
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday that the team is "still very optimistic" that Aaron Judge (ribs) will return this season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Cashman explained that "there's a very high likelihood" Judge will be able to recover from the fracture in his right ribs in time to play again this season but acknowledged that "there's challenges with all that too." Naturally, Judge's return could be impacted by New York's place in the standings, and the team currently sits 3.5 games out of first place in the AL East but a comfortable six games up for a wild-card spot. Judge hasn't played since May 31, and he's yet to resume baseball activities, so despite Cashman's optimism, the slugger doesn't appear anywhere close to rejoining the big-league club.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Re-examination timeline uncertain
The New York Yankees haven't yet determined when Aaron Judge (ribs) will next be examined by team doctors, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.It's coming up on two months since Judge last played in a game, and the star slugger remains unable to participate in baseball activities. Manager Aaron Boone said July 25 that Judge is still in "letting-it-heal mode," and with no clear timeline for when he'll undergo imaging again, Judge's potential return date is very hazy. He'll almost certainly need to take part in a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but such a stint doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Not ready for activity
Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that a specialist determined that Aaron Judge (ribs) is not yet ready to resume baseball activities, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.Judge is reportedly feeling significantly less pain now that he's more than a month removed from suffering a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, but he hasn't shown enough signs of healing to be cleared to ramp up just yet. A timeline for his return will remain foggy until he gets the green light to resume activity, though it's likely safe to assume he'll spend at least a few more weeks on the injured list.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Transferred to 60-day IL
The New York Yankees transferred Aaron Judge (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.With Judge still not quite fully healed yet, the Yankees decided to transfer their captain to the 60-day IL. This move is retroactive to when the 34-year-old was originally placed on the 10-day IL on June 4, yet it will still likely be at least a couple more weeks until Judge is ready to go at the big-league level. Jasson Dominguez will continue to see extended playing time in right field in Judge's absence.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Not quite fully healed
Aaron Judge (ribs) said Friday that his latest MRI this week showed "some" healing, but he's not yet 100 percent, and one more doctor will review the imaging before determining the next steps, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.It still sounds like Judge is multiple weeks away from a potential return to the lineup. The slugger hasn't played since May 31 due to a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. Jasson Dominguez will continue to see regular playing time in right field for the New York Yankees while Judge continues his recovery. Judge will undergo at least one more MRI before he's cleared to resume baseball activities, and manager Aaron Boone reiterated Friday that he still expects the right fielder to play again this season, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Set for MRI during All-Star break
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Aaron Judge will get follow-up imaging on his injured rib during the All-Star break, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.After Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list June 5 due to a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, the Yankees relayed that the outfielder would be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks. The Yankees will ultimately wait until around the six-week mark to send Judge in for re-imaging, after which he could be cleared to resume baseball activities if the MRI shows that his rib has healed as anticipated. Cashman reiterated that the Yankees fully expect Judge to return to action at some point this season.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: More rest before re-evaluation
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Aaron Judge isn't expected to be ready for a re-evaluation later this week, when he'll be at the four-week mark in his recovery from a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.At the time Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list June 5, the Yankees announced that the three-time MVP was scheduled to be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks. Though Judge hasn't necessarily suffered any setbacks while resting for much of June, Boone noted that the 34-year-old is moving slowly through the recovery process and may get follow-up imaging on his rib closer to the six-week mark. With that timeline in mind, Judge can be safely ruled out through the All-Star break, and an early August return from the IL could be ambitious if he isn't cleared to resume baseball activities immediately following his re-evaluation.

The New York Yankees placed Aaron Judge (ribs) on the 10-day injured list Friday.Judge was diagnosed with a stress fracture in the first rib on his right side Thursday and will be shut down for 4-6 weeks before being reevaluated. He's looking at an extended absence and could be out until after the All-Star break.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Will be evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks
The New York Yankees announced Thursday that Aaron Judge has a stress fracture of his first rib on his right side and will be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks before being re-evaluated, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.In other words, 4-to-6 weeks is the minimum amount of time Judge will spend in recovery before the team conducts further imaging on the ribs. He'll likely then need a period of time to ramp back up if everything comes back clean. Judge will head to the 10-day injured list, but the Yankees said the 34-year-old is expected to play again this season. It's an absolutely crushing blow to the New York lineup and for fantasy baseball. Judge hasn't played since May 31, and Jose Caballero and Max Schuemann have been seeing the playing time in right field. Spencer Jones could also be an option for promotion with Judge looking at an extended absence.
