Why have I asked my HVAC guy I found on angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube?
Because I was so amazed by how quickly he replaced our air ducts. I knew I could trust him to change Pop Pop's tube while I was on vacation.

Now, here's Chris McMonigle.

You got breaking news?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:17)
Yeah. I haven't even seen it on Twitter yet, but I just got this from Yankees PR.
So Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. This will require a period of rest and limited activity. He will be re-imaged in approximately four to six weeks to determine the level of healing and appropriate next steps. And then last note, Judge is expected to return at some point this season. So I would say that's worst case avoided. Still not great. But yeah, but that's what I just got from Yankees PR. I don't see it on Twitter yet, but they just sent the email. Probably strategically at 10.05 at night on a.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:56)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:56)
Now, Kirschner just.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
No, I got it. Yeah. So Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Yankees say Aaron Judge has been diagnosed as we just said with a stress fracture of the first rib on the right side. This will require a period of rest and limited activity. He will be reimagined in approximately four to six weeks to determine level of healing and appropriate steps. Okay. All right. So I mean, I think if he had TOS, I'm done saying that stupid comment. If he had TOS, they would have said so. He would be having surgery. He's got a broken rib. He's got a broken rib.
That's, I suppose, best case, we knew he was going to be on the aisle for a while. Stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. He's going to be gone now. Again, who knows how long he's going to, he will be reimagined in approximately four to six weeks. So best case scenario, he has healing in a month. They'll look at him in a month, say four weeks. So they look at him in a month, see what the imaging says. If he gets healthier, if he gets better, maybe he could start working his way back. I would say best case scenario, best case is that there's healing in the rib within four weeks and he starts working back.
I don't know, I don't want to speculate. Two months, right? Two months.
That's not that bad. I mean, it's bad. They got to win in the meantime. And we just talked about some of the things they're going to have to do. But we avoided the disastrous season ender. I mean, I think two months is a fair guess. I suppose it could be worse. But say he misses all of the night. We're just starting June. He misses all of June, all of July. See, I would sign in blood for I think I said this during the show. I would sign in blood for August 1st. And I think now that's what you're hoping for. So I was I was hoping we would get the I was hoping we would get the outcome. Tonight, I'm trying to see if there's any.
