New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) told reporters on Saturday that he's dealing with a torn ligament in his toe and not a sprain. This news complicates matters for the Yankees star, who said he still has pain when he walks. He was initially diagnosed with a sprain, but a torn ligament is a greater issue. There's still no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will need to stick with their backup plan for much longer than originally anticipated. The Yankees should provide another update next week.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) has advanced to pool/balance/strength work, according to manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees are hoping Judge can resume throwing and possibly light hitting by the end of this week. Judge turned a corner in his rehab from a right big-toe sprain after receiving a second platelet-rich plasma injection, but he has yet to resume baseball activities. The Yankees aren't going to rush the 31-year-old All-Star slugger back until he's fully healthy, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't return until after the All-Star break in mid-July. Judge still leads the league with a .674 slugging percentage and has added 19 home runs, 10 doubles and 40 RBI in 49 games played (213 plate appearances). Jake Bauers, Oswaldo Cabrera, Billy McKinney and Giancarlo Stanton could all see playing time in right field until Judge returns.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he feels like outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is turning a corner in his rehab, although he hasn't done any baseball activities yet. Most of the swelling in his toe is gone and he is able to do more things on his toe from a balance standpoint. It comes after Judge received a second platelet-rich plasma injection in his big right toe. Once the 31-year-old All-Star slugger resumes baseball activities, a minor-league rehab assignment shouldn't be far off, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return until July. Judge still leads the league in slugging percentage (.674) and OPS (1.078) while hitting .291 (51-for-175) with 10 doubles, 19 home runs, 40 RBI and 42 runs scored in 49 games played. He's obviously a must-stash in all fantasy leagues.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) received another platelet-rich plasma injection in his toe on Thursday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Judge was still experiencing lingering soreness in one of the two ligaments in his toe, and the new shot pinpointed the second ligament. The team hopes this will speed up the process towards Judge starting baseball activities. The 31-year-old All-Star slugger has been out with a sprained right toe since June 3, and there remains no timetable for his return. Fantasy managers can do nothing but be patient and keep him stashed in an IL spot. At this point, Judge may not return to the Yankees before the All-Star break in mid-July. With Judge out of action, Jake Bauers and Willie Calhoun have been splitting playing time in right field in the Bronx.

There remains no timetable for New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) return to the lineup. Manager Aaron Boone has insisted over the past week that the team won't have an accurate timetable until the swelling in Judge's sprained right big toe dissipates, which remains a work in progress. "There's still a bunch of stuff going on in there," Judge said Sunday. "But improvements each day, which has been a good sign. No step backs or any holdups. We're on the right track." The Yankees aren't going to rush the All-Star slugger back before he's fully ready, so fantasy managers will need to remain patient. As of Sunday, Judge said he had "no idea" when he'd start baseball activities. The Yanks have been rolling with an outfield combination of Billy McKinney, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Willie Calhoun and Jake Bauers.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) has had the swelling decrease in his sprained right big toe and has opted against using a walking boot. The team updated reporters earlier this week on the 31-year-old slugger's status. While he still has no timetable for his return it's encouraging to hear that the swelling has gone down and a walking boot isn't necessary. He will be out at least until June 14, which would mark the end of his minimum IL stay, but there's a chance it could be a little longer if he has a setback. The Yankees should provide another update at the end of the weekend.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is headed to the 10-day injured list with a contusion and a sprain in his right big toe, per skipper Aaron Boone. The 31-year-old made an admirable catch to rob J.D. Martinez of an extra-base hit on Saturday, but at the cost of crashing into the bullpen fence in right field at Dodger Stadium which caused the damage to his toe. Judge doesn't have a clear timetable for a return at this juncture, but fantasy managers will be relieved to hear there's no break or fracture. The 2022 AL MVP will be shelved for at least a week, though, and his AL-high 19 homers to along with an MLB-best .674 SLG and 1.078 OPS will be sorely missed by both the Yankees and fantasy managers alike for however long the superstar is sidelined.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) will not be in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees will get a diagnosis later on Tuesday that will determine whether Judge needs to go on the injured list. Fantasy managers are nervously awaiting that decision. The 31-year-old All-Star injured his right toe when he crashed into the outfield wall on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he might need some more time to recover. Judge has been hot in his last eight games, going 9-for-29 (.310) with two doubles, five home runs and seven RBI, and he obviously remains a must-start when he's in the lineup. Overall, the record-setting home run hitter is hitting .291 (51-for-175), and he leads the league with 19 home runs, a .674 slugging percentage and a 1.078 OPS in 49 games.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) has been sidelined since injuring his toe during Saturday's contest. The organization fears Judge might've broken his big toe, which would obviously send him to the injured list. That being said, the Yankees will have Judge undergo additional testing on Monday. The Yankees are off on Monday, so if it's a minor issue then possibly he returns for their next game. Fantasy managers will have to check back later on Monday for additional information.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is being held out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-handed slugger suffered a minor toe injury during Saturday's contest. As a result, the Yankees are going to have Judge sit out this contest. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge is sore and getting treatment, so he's unsure if Judge is going to be available off the bench during this game. The Yankees have a scheduled off day on Monday, so hopefully Judge is ready to play again on Tuesday. In the meantime, Willie Calhoun, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jake Bauers will cover the outfield versus right-hander Bobby Miller on Sunday.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored, and a walk in a 10-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Judge and the Yankees teed off on rookie starter Bryce Miller, tagging him for eight earned runs. Judge did his part, blasting a two-run home run in the top of the third inning. He then took Juan Then deep with a solo blast in the top of the sixth frame. Judge also flashed the leather in this one when he made a leaping grab over the wall in right field to rob Teoscar Hernandez of a home run in the eighth inning. The 31-year-old All-Star is now slashing .302/.408/.679 to go along with 17 home runs, 38 RBI, and three stolen bases over 162 at-bats on the year.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is out of the lineup for Sunday's early 11:35 AM first-pitch time and series finale with the Cincinnati Reds. The reigning American League MVP has put on a show recently, slashing a stratospheric .444/.559/1.074 with five deep flies and 12 RBI across his last seven games. Expect Judge to come out of his rest day firing on all cylinders for a series with the Baltimore Orioles commencing on Tuesday. The three-time Silver Slugger has 37 dingers and 82 RBI against the O's for his career with both representing career-high figures versus any one club.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his power surge in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays. Judge went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs, three RBI, and three walks. The 2022 American League Most Valuable Player has more or less started the season as fantasy managers expected, slashing .274/.376/.581 with 10 HR, 24 RBI, and two stolen bases in 141 plate appearances. He has now hit four HR in his last three games and should continue to be an elite power source for fantasy managers.

New York Yankees designated hitter Aaron Judge led his club to a comeback win over the Rays on Saturday. The reigning AL MVP homered twice, crushing a 382-foot shot to right-center in the fifth and following that up with a 439-foot bomb to left in the sixth inning. He also had four RBI, his most in a game this season. Judge went yard for the first time since coming off the injured list, so fantasy managers hope this is a sign of things to come.

The New York Yankees officially reinstated outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and placed infield prospect Oswald Peraza (ankle) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 6) in a corresponding move with a right-ankle sprain. The team also recalled right-hander Greg Weissert from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Judge is back after missing under two weeks with a strained right hip. It will obviously be a big boost to the Yankees and fantasy managers. Get him back in all starting lineups immediately. The 31-year-old slugger returns to a .261 average (24-for-92) with five doubles, six home runs and 14 RBI in 26 games. Peraza's ankle injury isn't very serious, so he should be ready to return when eligible on May 16. The 22-year-old has just six hits in 32 at-bats (.188 average) and is still searching for his first home run in 2023.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) will make his return to the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Oakland Athletics. The right-handed slugger has been officially activated from the injured list prior to this contest. Luckily, Judge only required the minimum stint on the injured list due to a right hip strain. Before that, Judge was hitting .261/.352/.511 with six home runs, 14 RBI over 26 games. The expectation is that he'll slide into the lineup on Tuesday without any restrictions.

New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) is on track to be activated ahead of Tuesday's series against the Oakland A's. He continues to perform running and hitting drills and is set to return to action when first eligible. The 31-year-old has been sidelined with a strained right hip. He is slashing .261/.352/.511 with six home runs, 14 RBI, 18 runs, and two stolen bases over 26 games in 2023. Judge has underperformed a little so far this season but should provide a boost for fantasy managers once he returns to action.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain. The move is retroactive to April 28 while fellow outfielder Franchy Cordero was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 2022 AL MVP was not scheduled to be in Monday's starting lineup against the Cleveland Guardians but was apparently set to take batting practice prior to the contest. The superstar hasn't appeared in a game since leaving an April 27 contest against the Rangers after two plate appearances as the club proceeds cautiously with their best player. Judge is hitting .261 with six homers, two stolen bases, and an .863 OPS through 26 games to begin the season while it's unclear if Judge will be able to return from the IL when first eligible May 7.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) will take batting practice with the team before their game on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians. Judge is not in the starting lineup against Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill, but he will test his hip in batting practice before the Yankees make a decision on whether to place him on the injured list. The 31-year-old slugger hasn't played since being removed from last Thursday's game early due to right-hip discomfort, and fantasy managers should prepare for him to potentially miss more time if he lands on the IL. If Judge does go on the IL on Monday, Willie Calhoun, who is starting in right field on Monday, would be in line to continue seeing more playing time in the Bronx.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 31-year-old slugger will miss his fourth game in a row due to a mild right hip strain. The Yankees haven't placed Judge on the injured list yet, which means he might require one. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for another update on Judge's status. In the meantime, Willie Calhoun will cover right field and bat fifth versus right-hander Cal Quantrill on Monday.
