New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge revealed that recent re-imaging has shown “some healing” in his injured rib, but that it is not “fully healed,” while speaking with reporters prior to Friday night’s tilt in the Bronx against the Los Angeles Dodgers. 
He still cannot participate in baseball activities and will need another round of reimaging. 
When asked if he’s confident that he’ll play again this season, Judge said, ‘Definitely. 
I don’t see why I wouldn’t.’ 
The 34-year-old has not appeared in a game since May 31, putting a pause to another impressive season in which he was slashing .248/.375/.533 (.907 OPS) with 17 home runs and 38 RBI. 
The Yankees have gone 18-19 in his absence, but have the benefit of playing in a weaker American League. 
They still sit in second place in the AL East, just 2.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
