The New York Yankees face uncertainty regarding Aaron Judge’s return from a fractured rib sustained in June, as GM Brian Cashman expressed optimism but acknowledged no guarantees. The team acquired Heliot Ramos and Luis García Jr. to bolster their lineup, which has struggled without Judge and will also be without Cody Bellinger due to injury. Cashman emphasized the importance of Judge’s presence for their playoff hopes, stating they cannot predict a timeline for his return or recovery progress. Until Judge can resume baseball activities, the Yankees will remain in a precarious position as they navigate this challenging situation.
