What happened: A doctor's update says Aaron Judge needs another scan before ramping up baseball activities as his fractured rib heals. The Yankees have moved their captain to the 60-day injured list. Re-imaging during the All-Star break showed partial healing, but Judge still lacks clearance for baseball drills.

Why it matters: The fracture has sidelined New York's offensive anchor as the Yankees sit 48-40 on a one-game losing streak. The latest scan requirement extends a timeline the club has yet to set, matching the same partial-healing diagnosis with no clearance to resume.

By the numbers: Yankees are 48-40 this season, scoring 4.7 runs and allowing 3.9 per game, going 4-1 over their last five before the current one-game skid. The Dodgers, at 59-33, beat New York 2-1 in the teams' last meeting on July 17.

What to watch: Yankees await Judge's next scan before any decision on ramping up activity. New York and Los Angeles were scheduled to meet again, scoreless before first pitch.
