The New York Yankees are grappling with the absence of star outfielder Aaron Judge, who has been placed on the injured list due to a stress fracture in his right rib. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the difficulty of replacing Judge, stating, “You’re not replacing Aaron Judge.” In response to this setback and with Jasson Domínguez also sidelined, the Yankees have promoted outfield prospect Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Jones struggled during his first major league stint, hitting just 4-for-24. Judge's injury is expected to keep him out for at least two months, with a reassessment planned in 4-6 weeks. Despite Judge's recent drop in production, he still boasts impressive stats this season with 17 home runs and a .907 OPS. The Yankees' performance without Judge has been notably poor, with a record of 137-127 since 2017 when he is absent from the lineup.
