McMahon hits go-ahead RBI single in 7th as Yankees beat Guardians 2-1 to avoid 3-game sweep
Judge missed the game due to a bruised rib on his right side that was causing shoulder pain. Later Thursday, the Yankees said Judge will be sidelined indefinitely with a stress fracture of his ribs.
The team said the three-time AL MVP was diagnosed with the stress fracture of the first rib on his right side and will need to rest and have limited activity. He’ll be re-evaluated after having additional imaging in about four to six weeks. The Yankees said in a statement that Judge is expected to return “at some point this season.”
Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tying sacrifice fly in the fourth and started the seventh-inning rally with a one-out walk from Codi Heuer (0-1). Chisholm stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch during consecutive pitches, then scored on McMahon's single as the Yankees went on to win for the seventh time in 10 games.
Rodón allowed one run and two hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and three walks. Stuart Fairchild hit an RBI single in the fourth.
Brett Headrick (4-1) pitched the seventh, and Fernando Cruz tossed a perfect eighth. David Bednar got three groundouts for his 13th save in 15 chances.
Max Schuemann started in place of Judge and made a pair of nice plays in his first career start in right field. In the second, he charged in for a diving catch on Steven Kwan’s sinking liner and five innings later, he made a leaping catch on Brayan Rocchio in front of the fence.
Cleveland’s Slade Cecconi allowed one run and four hits in six innings.
Yankees: LHP Ryan Weathers (2-3, 3.52) faces RHP Sonny Gray (6-1, 3.06) in the opener of a three-game series against visiting Boston on Friday.
