What happened: Aaron Judge received a follow-up evaluation from Dr. Gregory Pearl, a Texas-based specialist, on his rib injury, according to Bryan Hoch. Pearl found healing progress but did not clear Judge to begin baseball activities. Judge said the re-imaging showed "some progress, some healing going on, but not fully healed."
Why it matters: Judge remains without a return timetable as the Yankees wait on input from a second doctor before any next step. New York is 48-40 on the season and riding a one-game losing streak, leaving little margin as it manages the absence of its captain, placed on the 60-day injured list.
By the numbers: New York is 48-40 this season with a current one-game losing streak, averaging 4.7 runs scored and 3.9 allowed.
What to watch: The Yankees await a second doctor's evaluation before setting any timetable for Judge to resume baseball activities.
