The New York Yankees franchise slugger might not fully recover from his elbow injury until after the season is over.

Before hitting the injured list, Judge was leading the league in batting average (.342), on-base percentage (.449), slugging (.756), and OPS (1.160) with 37 homers. His barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and exit velocity were all elite. It was MVP-level production before he injured his elbow. If he comes back healthy, it changes everything.
