What happened: Per Jeff Passan, the New York Yankees provided an update on Aaron Judge's rib injury ahead of the All-Star break. General manager Brian Cashman stated the organization anticipates upcoming medical imaging will not be clean, as the bone is not expected to be completely healed at this point.

Why it matters: The fracture restricts the outfielder from performing upper-body exercises that place stress on his rib cage. This limitation prevents him from maintaining his standard conditioning routine during the hiatus.

What to watch: The organization hopes the upcoming tests will at least clear him to increase baseball activities. Officials will await the imaging results before further adjusting his rehabilitation schedule.
