Judge Eyes Immediate Return | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is poised to return to the Yankees lineup sooner than expected, skipping rehab after a fractured rib sidelined him since May 31. With three MVPs under his belt and proven resilience — he missed 43 games last year yet posted a .965 OPS and 18 homers — Judge feels confident returning directly to the majors. He’s been working with live batting practice and high-speed machines to regain timing without wasting time in the minors. While his defense may be cautious early, his offensive firepower is the real story. Expect him back in the lineup soon.
