Aaron Judge has been sidelined since May 31 with a fractured rib and underwent a scan during the All-Star break reviewed by a specialist at Baylor Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital. While healing is occurring, Judge is not yet asymptomatic and cannot begin upper-body baseball activities. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Judge must reach an asymptomatic state before any significant ramp-up begins. No return timeline has been established.
