Aaron Judge has been transferred to the 60-day injured list as the New York Yankees continue to monitor the healing of his fractured rib. The move underscores that the club is still taking a cautious approach with its captain's recovery.
Judge, 34, has been sidelined since May 31. According to the latest update, he will need another scan before he can begin any major ramp-up in activity, meaning his return process remains on hold until the Yankees get further medical clarity.
The roster decision does not change the central issue facing New York: one of its most important hitters is still not ready to resume full baseball work. With another imaging test still ahead, there is no immediate sign of a firm timetable for Judge's return to the lineup.
For the Yankees, the update keeps attention on both Judge's health and the club's ability to manage without him. Until that next scan is completed and shows enough progress, his recovery will continue at a measured pace.
