Yankees' Aaron Judge Sidelined to 60-Day IL; Needs Another Scan

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has been moved to the 60-day injured list and will require another medical scan before he can significantly increase his baseball activities. The slugger has been sidelined due to an injury that has kept him out of recent games. Before landing on the injured list, Judge was struggling at the plate, batting .248 with 17 home runs and 38 RBIs. However, he had managed only one home run in his last 18 games. The move to the 60-day IL opens a roster spot for the Yankees, but it also indicates that Judge's return is not imminent. The team will wait for the results of the scan to determine the next steps in his rehabilitation. In other Yankees news, pitcher Clarke Schmidt faced batters in a simulated game, a positive step in his own recovery from injury. Schmidt is working his way back to the active roster. The Yankees continue to navigate injuries to key players as they push through the season. Fans and the team are eager for Judge's return, but the priority is ensuring he is fully healthy before resuming play. The Yankees will provide updates as more information becomes available.
