Court is still not in session for the New York Yankees.

Manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Friday that outfielder Aaron Judge is dealing with a stress fracture in his first right rib.

"It's a tough diagnosis to find," Boone said. "It's probably an injury dating back to September when he dove [for a ball against the Los Angeles Angels], we think. It shows signs of healing."

Boone says the team will give it the next couple of weeks before doing further testing, but indicated that surgery is still a possibility.

In 102 games a season ago, Judge batted .272 with 27 home runs, 55 runs batted in and an OPS of .921.

Fellow outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is also currently out of action with a quad strain.

The Yankees open up their 2020 season on Mar. 26 against the Baltimore Orioles.
