Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his ribs, Aaron Boone announced today. The star outfielder has undergone a battery of tests over the past two weeks as the organization tried to figure out what the cause of his shoulder and pectoral pain was, and now we know. Judge will be shut down for at least two more weeks of rest, and the team has not ruled out surgery at this time.
This adds one more name to an already star-studded injured list, as Judge will join Luis Severino and James Paxton on the early season shelf.
