Yankees slugger Aaron Judge out of lineup with bone bruise in right shoulder, may miss a few days
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against Cleveland because of a bone bruise in his upper right rib that he feels in his right shoulder, and he might miss a few days.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said tests on the team’s off day on Monday revealed the bruise and Judge was scheduled to meet with a team doctor later Tuesday.
Judge is hitting .248 and 17 homers and 38 RBIs.
The three-time AL MVP has one homer in his last 18 games since May 10 and ended an 11-game homer and RBI drought with a game-ending, two-run drive in the ninth inning to give the Yankees a 2-0 win over Tampa Bay on May 24.
