Yankees star Aaron Judge won’t need surgery on his elbow but shortstop Anthony Volpe and left-hander Carlos Rodon had operations this week and could be sidelined until May.<\/p>\n

The $360million superstar’s throwing was limited after the two-time AL MVP hurt the flexor tendon in his right elbow in July.<\/p>\n

Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday an MRI after\u00a0the team was eliminated last week showed ‘no surgery is going to be needed.’<\/p>\n

‘He\u00b4ll take some time off and continue to do strengthening things and rehab and stuff, but felt like he finished the season in a pretty good place as we saw continued improvements,’ Boone said.<\/p>\n

Judge hurt his elbow making a throw at Toronto on July 22. The 33-year-old came back on August 5 from a 10-day stint on the injured list caused by the strained flexor tendon in his right elbow and threw gingerly upon his outfield return on September 5.<\/p>\n

Judge led the major leagues with a .331 average and 1.145 OPS, hitting 53 home runs with 114 RBIs and 124 walks. He hit .500 with one homer, seven RBIs and four walks in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Yankees star Aaron Judge won’t need surgery on his elbow in a huge boost to the slugger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Volpe and Rodon are projected to start the season on the injured list and could be sidelined until May, however.<\/p>\n

Volpe, the Yankees shortstop since 2023, had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday with head team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad to repair the labrum in his left shoulder.<\/p>\n

Boone said Volpe can start hitting in four months but can’t dive on the shoulder for six months.<\/p>\n

‘The cleanup was more severe than the MRI result,’ Cashman said.<\/p>\n

Rodon was operated on Wednesday by Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a bone spur. He has eight weeks of no throwing.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton, who didn’t make his season debut until June 16 because of right and left elbow epicondylitis, does not need surgery.<\/p>\n

‘He’s in a pretty good place,’ Boone said. ‘He’ll treat it and everything but nothing expected for Big G.’<\/p>\n

New York has a record 27 World Series titles but none since 2009. After beating Boston in the Wild Card Series, the Yankees lost a four-game Division Series to Toronto.<\/p>\n

After losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, New York started the season 35-20, slumped during a 25-34 stretch as its bullpen struggled, then closed 34-14 and lost the AL East to Toronto on a tiebreaker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
