As the regular season nears its end, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees has begun playing catch for the first time since suffering a right rib stress fracture, marking a significant step in his recovery. Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that while Judge’s progress is promising, he might need a month to return, with various hurdles still to clear. The Yankees have struggled without him, ranking poorly in offensive statistics and falling behind in the AL East standings. Judge remains hopeful to contribute this season as he continues his rehabilitation process.
