Boone says no timetable set for re-imaging Aaron Judge's fractured rib

Yankees still have no clock on Judge's return.

What happened: Manager Aaron Boone said the Yankees have no firm date for slugger Aaron Judge to have his fractured rib re-imaged. Boone offered the update before New York closed out a four-game set at Boston's Fenway Park, noting Judge has resumed some weight-room work but remains awaiting follow-up imaging. The three-time MVP has been sidelined since early June.

Why it matters: Judge anchors the New York lineup, and his open-ended absence leaves the offense without its biggest run producer at a point when the Yankees have struggled to score. Without a re-imaging date, the club cannot project a rehab timeline or a return, prolonging the uncertainty around the heart of the order.

By the numbers: Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list June 5, retroactive to June 2. The Yankees sit 48-35 on the season, averaging 4.9 runs while allowing 3.7, but have dropped four straight entering this stretch.

What to watch: Watch for the Yankees to schedule follow-up imaging, which would be the first concrete marker toward a rehab assignment and a possible return date for Judge.
