Judge had a normal offseason of workouts but felt the pain pretty much from Nov on: "I thought it was something I can warm up & work through & be fine by the time spring training starts. If I would have known it was a rib, maybe I would have done things a little bit differently"

Nothing new about Aaron Judge as of now, the plan was to rest him for 2 weeks and see if there is any progress on the fracture in his rib, do at a minimum we won’t see any meaningful news until at least next week!
The Yankees' opening day outfield is currently down to Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman, Clint Frazier, and recent convert Miguel Andújar. Aside from Aaron Hicks, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton, prospect Estevan Florial is the only remaining outfielder on the 40-man roster.

There has been no news whatsoever about Stanton aka Mr. Glass, if I were a betting man and I am, bet that Stanton will not be ready for opening day!

A little bit of a mixed bag with James Paxton, he is expected to start throwing within the next week or so but the bad news is, he is still about a month or so away from pitching in a meaningful game.
There’s something going on with this team where every year, our top guys are always injured. Not mentioned above was Gary Sanchez who was held out of a game Sunday due to a back injury and the Yanks saying its only minor, BUT they then announced Monday he would be held out until Friday as a precaution. WTF!!
