NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge was out of the lineup Thursday for a third straight game and the New York Yankees were awaiting clarity about a bone bruise in one of the slugger's right ribs that is causing right shoulder pain.
"I absolutely expect something in the next couple of hours," manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees concluded a three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians. "He went for more testing today just because he's got edema there. So, they want to get [the most] specific images they can to try and see exactly what we have."
Judge underwent a CT scan on Thursday morning and had an MRI earlier in the week when he met with a specialist. The bruise was first revealed when Judge underwent testing on the team's off day on Monday.
