## Resource

Aaron Judge is making major strides in his rib injury recovery, with Yankees manager Aaron Boone hinting he could soon take batting practice on the field—possibly even skip rehab entirely. The slugger, who hit 17 homers in 59 games before getting hurt, is a critical piece as the Yankees chase a playoff push, currently three games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East. With a tough series against the Padres looming, Judge’s return could be a game-changer—and fans are watching closely as he inches closer to rejoining the lineup before the season ends.
