New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has a bone bruise that is causing "nagging" soreness in his right shoulder and is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Tuesday. Boone said an MRI revealed the injury and that Judge would meet with doctors on Tuesday. The manager said it was impacting Judge's swing and was hopeful that it wouldn't be a long-term injury.

Judge, the American League MVP in each of the last two seasons, is hitting .248 with 17 home runs and 38 RBIs this season. Over the last 15 days, however, he is hitting just .178 and has only one home run since May 11. Jose Caballero is starting in right field Tuesday in Judge's absence.
