Claim 1: “Aaron Boone noted the advancement in Judge’s recovery from the fractured rib that’s kept him out since the beginning of June.”
DISPUTED
Evidence for Judge's injury is contradictory. One source mentions a 'torn ligament in his right toe', while another mentions a 'stress fracture in his right rib'. The claim specifically mentions a fractured rib, which is supported by one source but contradicted by another citing a toe injury.
