The New York Yankees are coming off a 2-1 series loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Their series finale took place on Thursday and ended things on a high note with a tight 2-1 victory, despite the absence of slugger Aaron Judge.
Fortunately, he is expected to return this season, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

As reported by Hoch, the 34-year-old slugger has officially been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the first rib on the right side of his body.
In four to six weeks, he is expected to be evaluated again to assess his level of healing.
From there, his medical team will determine the next steps.
Considering the previous possibility of him having thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), this is better news, although still incredibly disappointing.
