New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge revealed he had a collapsed lung that has healed and his fractured rib is on the mend

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge revealed he had a collapsed lung that has healed and his fractured rib is on the mend. The news that a pneumothorax was “completely gone” from a CT scan on Friday brings more clarity to what had been a frustrating search for answers about his injury. Since winning the AL Rookie of the Year in 2017, Judge was limited to 118 games in 2018 due to a broken right wrist and 102 games in 2019 because of a strained left oblique.
