Aaron Judge Remains Sidelined 6 Weeks After Rib Fracture as Yankees Await Another Review

Summary
Six weeks after going down on May 31, Aaron Judge said his rib stress fracture has shown some healing but he still has not been cleared to resume baseball activities.
Further imaging and another doctor's review are still pending, leaving the Yankees without a firm timetable even as Judge said he expects to return this season.
Judge, 34, has been out during a turbulent stretch in which New York went 18-19 without him, including a 14-loss skid in 18 games before a four-game winning streak entering the break.
The three-time AL MVP remains central to the Yankees' title hopes after anchoring the lineup from 2022 until the injury, even with his batting average down in 2026.
