Aaron Judge will undergo another CT scan on his injured rib later this month, but Aaron Boone is encouraged by the outfielder's recovery.

Boone admitted that baseball's shutdown amid the coronavirus pandemic has provided Judge and other injured New York Yankees some downtime to get back to full health.

"Obviously, everyone kind of mentions a silver lining with us," he said. "I think that's very much true."

Judge was diagnosed with a fractured rib in March -- an injury he originally suffered last September.
