What’s Next For Aaron Judge, The Yankees And The AL MVP Race

Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in his right first rib and is expected to miss 2–3 months, a big blow to the Yankees and his pursuit of another historic season.
His absence puts New York’s lineup to the test and opens up the AL MVP race, with players like Bobby Witt Jr., Yordan Álvarez (and even teammate Ben Rice) rising as contenders.
The Yankees are calling up top prospect Spencer Jones while Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez make rehab progress and could return in the coming weeks.
