Aaron Judge Fantasy Stats

The New York Yankees announced on Saturday that they transferred outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the roster for right-hander Bradley Hanner, who was signed to a major-league contract and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The move doesn't change Judge's timetable to return. At the very least, Judge is going to need another couple of weeks before he's a realistic option to rejoin the major-league roster as he attempts to return from a rib injury that has kept him sidelined since May 31. The 30-year-old three-time MVP and eight-time All-Star went on the IL on June 4, and he probably won't return until at least early August. Obviously, the 6-foot-7, 282-pounder must be stashed in all fantasy leagues until he's ready to return. Before his injury, he was hitting .248/.375/.533 with a .907 OPS, 17 home runs, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 59 games and 261 plate appearances. At least for another couple of weeks, Jasson Dominguez will continue to see regular playing time in New York's outfield with Giancarlo Stanton (calf) still sidelined as well.

New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (right rib) said Friday that follow-up imaging showed some healing in the stress fracture of his first rib on the right side. It was not enough to clear him for baseball activities, and additional doctors still need to review the results. Judge remains confident he will return this season, saying, "I don't see why I wouldn't," but there is still no timetable. Judge has not played since May 31 and is hitting .248/.375/.533 with 17 home runs, 43 runs, 38 RBI, and five steals in 59 games. Fantasy managers should continue holding him in every format. The lack of baseball work still makes an August return uncertain, while Jasson Dominguez should remain in the outfield mix as long as Judge is sidelined.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) will be re-imaged during the All-Star break next week. Cashman is still anticipating Judge's return at some point this season based on the original diagnosis. When the Yankees placed Judge on the 10-day injured list five weeks ago with a stress fracture in his rib, they said he'd be re-evaluated in four to six weeks. There hasn't been a firm timetable for Judge's return, but we should have a clearer picture after he undergoes more testing next week. The 34-year-old three-time MVP and seven-time All-Star should obviously be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues as a difference-maker across the board when he's healthy. When Judge returns in the second half, he'll be returning to a .248/.375/.533 slash line with a .907 OPS, 17 home runs, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five stolen bases across his 214 at-bats. The Yankees have been without both Judge and right-handed slugger Giancarlo Stanton (calf) for most of the first half, so getting them both back after the All-Star break will be huge as they attempt to catch the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) is still taking things slow, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Judge is coming up on four weeks on the 10-day injured list due to a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, but it doesn't sound like he will be ready for more testing at that point. The 34-year-old former MVP was placed on the IL on June 5, and at the time, the Yankees said Judge would be re-evaluated in four to six weeks. It sounds like the Yankees don't plan on re-evaluating him for another couple of weeks, so fantasy managers definitely cannot expect the slugger to return before the All-Star break in mid-July. The former first-rounder in 2013 out of California State University, Fresno, is an obvious must-stash while he heals, but fantasy managers may not get him back until early August in a best-case scenario. We'll have a better idea on a timeline for a return once he resumes baseball activities. Judge has hit .248 (53-for-214) with 17 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 2026 in his 11th year in the majors. With Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) still on the IL as well, Jasson Dominguez will continue to be an everyday player in the outfield in the Bronx.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) has been sidelined since late May due to a stress fracture in his rib and is not due to be re-evaluated until around the All-Star break. Across 261 plate appearances before the injury, Judge hit .248/.375/.533 with 17 home runs, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 34-year-old was showing some slight signs of decline relative to 2025, as his strikeout rate had risen from 23.6% to 27.6% while his barrel rate had dipped from 24.7% to 21.4%. Still, Judge remains one of the absolute best hitters in baseball when healthy and has the potential to swing fantasy leagues if he can return to full strength for the final two months of the regular season. For fantasy managers who can afford to stash Judge through the remainder of his injury absence, exploring buy-low opportunities might prove fruitful.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rib), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a stress fracture in his rib, said he doesn't "like talking timetables... That stuff's all made up." Judge said he thinks he sustained the injury on an awkward dive in Houston back in April. The 34-year-old three-time MVP won't be re-evaluated for another four to six weeks, so fantasy managers have to prepare for the possibility that the superstar outfielder won't be back until after the mid-July All-Star break. In the meantime, with Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) still on the injured list, rookie outfielder Spencer Jones is back with the big-league club to provide outfield depth in the Bronx. Jones will start in right field and bat sixth for the Bombers in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Sonny Gray at Yankee Stadium. Despite an extended absence for Judge, he should not be dropped in any fantasy baseball leagues. He heads to the IL with a 2.48/.375/.533 slash line, .907 OPS, 17 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs, and five stolen bases in 214 at-bats.

The New York Yankees officially announced on Friday that they placed outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 2) with a stress fracture of his right rib and recalled rookie outfielder Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Judge will be out for an extended period of time and won't be re-evaluated for another four to six weeks. Depending on how he recovers, there's a good chance we won't see the superstar slugger until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The injury to Judge will put a real strain on New York's outfield, as they are already missing Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder). Jones, who has light-tower power from the left side, will get a second shot in the Bronx this year after struggling following his first MLB call-up. Judge heads to the IL with a .248/.375/.533 slash line, .907 OPS, 17 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, and five steals in 214 at-bats. He obviously should not be dropped in any fantasy leagues while he recovers.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of his first rib on his right side. The Yankees have announced that Judge is going to be sidelined 4-6 weeks because of this issue. The superstar slugger needs a rest period before the team can do more imaging. Judge will head to the Injured List, which is obviously going to be a huge blow to this lineup. He's going to need time to ramp back up as well, so fantasy managers should expect to be without Judge for an extended period of time. The MVP slugger is irreplaceable, but the assumption is that Max Schuemann, Jose Caballero, and possibly Spencer Jones will get a look in right field while Judge is sidelined. As mentioned, Judge needs a recovery window before more tests can be done, so fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates on his status in the coming weeks.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs, shoulder) is missing a third straight game on Thursday in the series finale in the Bronx against the Cleveland Guardians, per MLB.com. Max Schuemann will make the start in right field for the Yankees and will bat ninth against Guardians right-hander Slade Cecconi. Judge is considered day-to-day for now, but he was scheduled to be sent for more testing on what the Yankees are calling a bone bruise in his ribs that is causing soreness in his right shoulder. Until we know more, there's a chance the superstar outfielder will need a stint on the 10-day injured list, so fantasy managers need to plan accordingly. The 34-year-old three-time MVP's recent struggles -- .163 average with one homer, seven walks, and 15 strikeouts in his last 13 games -- could be attributed to his health issue. With Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) still on the IL, the Yankees are dangerously thin in their outfield. If Judge goes on the IL, left-handed-hitting outfield prospect Spencer Jones could return to the majors.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) will undergo additional imaging on his ribcage. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed the team will do extra testing for more specific spots in his right ribcage. Judge has been dealing with shoulder soreness that was determined to be from a bone bruise in his ribs. He has missed the last two games and could very well be headed for a stint on the Injured List. The Yankees want to do more testing and see what they're dealing with before deciding on the next steps for Judge. For now, the superstar slugger should be considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers should get more clarity on the situation at some point on Thursday.
