Judge’s Injury Gives the Yankees an Unwelcome Challenge, While Skubal’s Return Could Boost Tigers
Judge’s rib fracture could keep him out for a while as the Yankees try to stay atop the AL East and Skubal works back from injury.
- New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge faces an extended absence due to a stress fracture in a rib that will sideline the slugger for several weeks.
- The Detroit Tigers have been without ace Tarik Skubal for over a month, but he threw five innings in a rehab appearance for West Michigan on Sunday as the team sits 12 games under.500.
- Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been out since May 13 because of a right oblique strain and will likely need a rehab assignment before returning to Seattle.
- Without Judge, the Yankees have lost three of their last five this month while New York trails Tampa Bay by percentage points atop the AL East.
- Orel Hershiser holds the record with a 59-inning shutout run in 1988, throwing 10 scoreless frames against the Padres on Sept. 28, 1988, to break Don Drysdale's mark.
