Aaron Judge has been unable to participate in on-field batting practice this spring, and that will continue for at least two more weeks after the Yankees slugger was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his first right rib that might require surgery, manager Aaron Boone said Friday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

The Yankees plan to offer Judge two more weeks of rest before re-evaluating his progress with a CT scan. Judge said that he believes the rib injury dates to an attempted catch Sept.
