After not being able to figure out what was bothering him in the early part of spring training, we now know that Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in his rib.

This will keep him out of Opening Day for sure but the Yankees are optimistic about him avoiding surgery. He’ll join Giancarlo Stanton, James Paxton and Luis Severino as prominent injured Yankees at the outset of the season.
Judge injured the rib on a dive last September but kept playing.
