Judge Out Longer, Yankees Struggle | New York Yankees News
Description
Aaron Judge’s rib injury just got worse — and the Yankees’ playoff hopes just got dimmer. After being moved to the 60-day injured list, Judge remains sidelined with no baseball activity cleared, despite some healing shown in scans. His absence hits hard: he was hitting .248 with 17 homers and 38 RBIs before going down in May. While Cody Bellinger and Ben Rice fill the void, analysts say the Yankees can’t seriously contend without Judge’s power and leadership — even his MVP odds took a hit. In a move to offset the loss, the team signed RHP Bradley Hanner to a major league deal, though he’s been optioned to Triple-A. With Judge’s recovery still uncertain and routine imaging planned, the Yankees’ offense — and their championship dreams — now face a long, tough stretch without their captain.
