Judge Rib Rehab Drags On: Reimaging Still Weeks Away
Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed Judge won't be reimaged for another couple of weeks, placing his return at the far end of the original timeline.
Aaron Boone told media Tuesday that Aaron Judge remains roughly two weeks from getting his fractured ribs reimaged, which pushes his recovery toward the tail end of the 4-to-6 week window established after his June 4 diagnosis. Judge has not yet reached the activity threshold that would prompt doctors to order new imaging. On the positive side, Boone noted Judge is feeling better this week and has begun lower-body work in the weight room. The Yankees will have a clearer rehab path once reimaging results are available.
