Yankees Officially Place Aaron Judge on Injured List With Fractured Rib
The New York Yankees officially announced on Friday that they placed outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 2) with a stress fracture of his right rib and recalled rookie outfielder Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Judge will be out for an extended period of time and won't be re-evaluated for another four to six weeks. Depending on how he recovers, there's a good chance we won't see the superstar slugger until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The injury to Judge will put a real strain on New York's outfield, as they are already missing Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder). Jones, who has light-tower power from the left side, will get a second shot in the Bronx this year after struggling following his first MLB call-up. Judge heads to the IL with a .248/.375/.533 slash line, .907 OPS, 17 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five steals in 214 at-bats. He obviously should not be dropped in any fantasy leagues while he recovers.
