The New York Yankees activate Aaron Judge from the 60-day injured list after he misses about three months with a broken right rib/stress fracture. Multiple reports say Judge has not played since May 31 and is now available for the team’s upcoming games, including the series opener against the Colorado Rockies in the Bronx.
Reports also indicate Judge travels with the Yankees on a recent road trip and is added to the roster without a traditional rehab assignment in this window. One outlet specifically notes the activation happens ahead of the Yankees’ postseason push and their attempt to close the gap in the standings, while another places the return in the context of the Yankees beginning a stretch of home games.
