Detroit, MI, August 5, 2026 —
New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has taken a step forward in his recovery from a broken rib, the team announced. Judge has been cleared to begin light workout activities, including stretching and jogging.
The outfielder has been sidelined since May 31 with the injury. While he has now been cleared for initial physical activity, a definitive timeline for when he can resume more intensive baseball actions such as hitting and throwing has not yet been established.
Despite the absence of a specific return date for hitting and throwing, Judge reportedly expressed confidence in his ability to play again this season. The Yankees organization has not provided further details on the progression of his recovery beyond the clearance for light workouts.
