Aaron Judge Out on Tuesday With Rib/Shoulder Injury
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) has a bone bruise in his right rib area that impacts him when he swings, which is why he's not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians, according to Jack Curry of YES Network. Judge has been dealing with nagging soreness for a couple of weeks, but Boone said the hope is that it was caught early and won't be a long-term injury. The Athletic's Brendan Kuty reports that Judge is dealing with "shoulder soreness." Fantasy managers should consider the 34-year-old superstar to be day-to-day for now, but hopefully, he can return to the starting lineup in the Bronx at some point during the series versus Cleveland. Jose Caballero is starting in right field for the Yanks and will hit eighth against Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo, with Anthony Volpe starting at short and hitting sixth. Perhaps Judge's injury is a big reason why he's gone just 7-for-41 (.171) with a homer, two doubles, eight RBI, four runs, six walks, and 14 strikeouts in 11 games since May 19.
