Yankees Promote Spencer Jones to Replace Aaron Judge

The New York Yankees placed Aaron Judge on the injured list due to a stress fracture in his right rib, marking the beginning of summer without their star slugger. Manager Aaron Boone emphasized that there is no replacing Judge, who has been struggling with injuries, including shoulder soreness prior to this diagnosis. Spencer Jones has been called up from Triple-A to fill Judge’s roster spot, but the Yankees will face challenges with their lineup until Judge’s expected return in two months. The team has underperformed without him, with a stark contrast in their win-loss record with and without Judge since 2017.
