ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —Aaron Judge<\/a> will have his injured rib tested during the All-Star break, and the New York Yankees<\/a> are hopeful the results show the three-time AL MVP is healing.<\/p>\n

Judge has not played since May 31 and went on the injured list June 5 with a stress fracture of his right rib after a CT scan, an MRI and a meeting with a specialist.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think we want to put him at risk of coming back while still injured,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters Thursday. “He should be asymptomatic before we turn him loose.<\/p>\n

“If he’s asymptomatic and not feeling anything and [medical images] are showing healing, then it’s probably appropriate to get him going again. But we don’t want to, because the schedule is what it is, put him in a position where we’re putting him in jeopardy where it somehow gets worse.”<\/p>\n

The Yankees were 14-19 without Judge entering their series finale against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cashman said the injury has restricted Judge’s ability to work out his upper body because he can’t put stress on his rib cage. The new images will give a better understanding of where he stands in his rehab process.br\/]<\/p>\n
