Aaron Judge Returns to Yankees After 99‑Day Rib Injury

After a 99‑day absence caused by a broken rib, the Yankees’ power hitter Aaron Judge has rejoined the lineup, starting in right field and batting third in the upcoming game against the Colorado Rockies.

Judge’s Road to Recovery

Judge sustained a broken rib during a game last season, which sidelined him for nearly four months. During that time, the team focused on his rehabilitation, ensuring he regained full strength before returning to the field.

Back in the Lineup

Manager Aaron Boone announced Judge’s return, noting that the player is ready to contribute offensively and defensively. Judge will take the right‑field position and line up at third in the batting order for the Rockies series.

Impact on the Yankees

Judge’s presence is expected to bolster the Yankees’ offense, especially in the middle of the lineup where his power-hitting can drive in runs. His defensive skills in right field also add depth to the outfield.

Looking Ahead

With Judge back, the Yankees aim to maintain momentum as they face the Rockies. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his return will influence the team’s performance in the coming games.
