The update isn't exactly good news .
"It's probably a couple weeks still from reimaging," Boone said, per MLB.com. "They'll determine when they feel like he's doing stuff that [warrants] 'Alright, let's go reimage it now.' We're not at that point yet.
"He's doing some lower-body stuff now in the weight room and moving better. I think he's feeling a lot better this week, anyway."
Judge hasn't played the entire month of June. New York has really struggled lately, with eight losses in their last 10 games. The Bronx Bombers dropped to second again in the American League East, after once re-taking a lead in the division over the Tampa Bay Rays .

This season, Judge is hitting at a .248 batting average. He has posted 17 home runs and driven in 38 runs. Judge also has five stolen bases on the season, with 214 total at-bats.
Yankees fans hope that Judge is back in the lineup as soon as possible. New York simply needs him. The Bronx Bombers have really struggled of late to score runs. In a recent four-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox , New York's offense looked lackluster.
This Yankees team started off the campaign with high expectations. New York hoped to make another run in the postseason, after losing last year in disappointing fashion to the Toronto Blue Jays in the MLB Playoffs.
The Bronx Bombers hope to snap a losing skid on Tuesday, when they play the lowly Detroit Tigers . The Yankees have dropped five games in a row. New York is currently 48-36 on the season.
