Aaron Judge Needs More Imaging on Shoulder Injury as Yankees Await Timeline for 17-Homer MVP

Summary
Further imaging is planned for Aaron Judge after a specialist visit left the Yankees without clarity on an injury first described as a bone bruise.
Aaron Boone said Judge has felt shoulder soreness for the last couple of weeks, especially when swinging, and the club needs more specific results before setting a course of action or return timeline.
Judge sat out Tuesday against Oakland, and any extended absence would hit a Yankees team whose fortunes are closely tied to the reigning AL MVP.
New York is one game behind Tampa Bay in the AL East with a league-best +92 run differential in the American League, making Judge's status a key variable in its division and playoff outlook.
