NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge caught a break.
Not the kind the Yankees wanted.
Judge broke his right wrist when a pitch hit him in the Yankees' 7-2 win over the Royals at Yankee Stadium on Thursday.
It was a chip fracture of his ulnar styloid bone, the team said in a statement. He won't need surgery but he won't be able to "swing a bat in a game situation" for about three weeks, the team said.
While the Yankees say Judge won't be able to swing in a game for about three weeks, it's probable that the team will want the 26-year-old to play in at least a handful of rehab games before rejoining the big-league club.
