Yankees Announce Latest Aaron Judge Update
GettyAaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees looks on during the eighth inning against the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium on June 16, 2026 in New York City.
The Yankees have been playing without their best player (Aaron Judge) since May 31.
In a recent interview with Talkin’ Yanks, manager Aaron Boone was asked for the latest update on Judge.
Host: “I think our last Judge update was he was supposed to get re-imaged in four to six weeks. Do you know if that’s the timeline or no?”
Boone: “Yeah, it’s probably a couple weeks still from re-imaging. They’ll determine when they feel like he’s doing stuff that say all right, let’s go re-image it now and we’re not at that point yet.”
Host: “So just kind of like movement tests?”
Boone: “Yeah… He’s doing some lower body stuff now in the weight room and moving better… I think he’s feeling a lot better this week anyway.”
Judge had been batting .248 with 53 hits, 17 home runs, 38 RBIs, 43 runs and five stolen bases in 59 games.
The three-time MVP is in the middle of his 11th MLB season (all with the Yankees).
