As far as an update on the right fielder fielder had this to about how rib is progressing, Aaron Judge had this to say.

"It's going good," Judge told Lillard. "We were in Spring Training, just getting the season going. Having a broken rib, I should be back doing a little more here in about a week or two, and then hopefully have some answers on when the season starts. It's crazy times."according to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com

Having these unexpected extra weeks to recover, it appears that Judge is attempting to avoid the mistakes that he made in the wake of last year's playoff exit, when he rushed into an offseason program. Judge has said that if he had known how significant the rib injury was, he would have approached his winter differently.ccording to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com

"I think the consistent swinging and weightlifting throughout the whole offseason really didn't give it the chance to [heal]," Judge said. "If somebody breaks their leg and they're in a cast, they're immobilized for a couple weeks or months. You give the bone a chance to heal. But I was [upset] about how the season ended last year, so I went right back to it. We've all been through pain, bumps and bruises. In my head, I felt like it was something that I could fight through, and I think that kind of cost me a little bit there.according to article by Brian Hoch on mlb.com.

For now Judge remains in the Tampa, Fla., area and has been utilizing the George M. Steinbrenner Field complex as he rehabs from the stress fracture in his first right rib that was diagnosed in March following a battery of exams. “according to an article by Brian Hoch on mlb.com.
