The Yankees continue to play without three-time MVP Aaron Judge.
He has been out since May 31 with an injury.
MLB.com wrote (on July 18): “Underwent re-imaging July 15, which showed healing, but not enough to resume baseball activities. Additional re-imaging required. Has been performing mostly lower-body exercises since last playing May 31. Initially placed on 10-day IL June 5, retroactive to June 2.”
Ahead of Friday’s series with the Philadelphia Phillies, the Yankees announced a big milestone for Judge.
They wrote: “Congratulations on 10 years of Major League service time, Captain! 🫡👨⚖️”

@themattlugoshow: “Cashman make deals and get this man a ring”
