New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is reportedly aiming to bypass a minor league rehab assignment as he prepares for his return to the team. Sources suggest the star player is pushing to resume his regular season duties without the stopgap step, which is typically used for players recovering from injury. The decision could accelerate his comeback timeline, though it remains unclear whether his request will be approved. Baseball’s strict rehabilitation protocols often require such assignments to ensure player readiness, adding uncertainty to his return.
