Yankees’ Judge had collapsed lung

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge revealed he had a collapsed lung that has healed and said his broken rib is improving.

Judge had a CT scan on Friday. The Yankees announced two weeks ago that Judge had a stress fracture to his first right rib.

“The bone is still about the same, slight improvement,” Judge said as he left Steinbrenner Field. “The bone is healing the way it should be, so probably another test here in a couple more weeks and go from there.”

Judge added the scan showed a “pneumothorax came back completely gone.”

“A little thing on the lung that we were having a little issue with, but that was all healed up.” Judge said. “Good to go. Which means I can fly if I needed to go home.”

The 27-year-old didn’t play in any spring training games because of soreness in his right pectoral muscle and shoulder.

With opening day pushed back into mid-May at the earliest due to the new coronavirus, Judge has more time to recover without missing games.

“That’s the silver lining in all of this, just having the ability to not feel rushed trying to get back for a certain date, especially since we really don’t have a date.” Judge said “Just trying to let it heal, don’t try to rush it.”

Judge plans to continue working out and getting treatment at the Yankees’ spring training complex.

Since winning the 2017 AL Rookie of the Year award, Judge has been limited to 112 games in 2018 and to 102 games last year due to injuries.

Toppin unanimous All-American: Dayton’s Obi Toppin Toppin was the lone unanimous choice on The AP men’s basketball All-America team, receiving 65 votes from a nationwide media panel after averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds while shooting 63% in a breakout season.

The 6-foot-9 sophomore helped the third-ranked Flyers match the program’s highest ranking and be on track for a potential No. 1 seed before the NCAA Tournament was shelved. He’s Dayton’s first first-team AP All-American.

Joining Toppin on the first team were Seton Hall’s Myles Powell, Iowa’s Luka Garza, Marquette’s Markus Howard and Oregon’s Payton Pritchard.

Top prospect declares for NBA draft:

Georgia freshman Anthony Edwards announced his plans to enter the NBA draft.

Edwards’ spot in the next draft was expected even before he played his first game for the Bulldogs.

From Atlanta, Edwards was one of the nation’s top recruits last season and is considered one of the top draft prospects.

Edwards, a 6-foot-5 guard, led the nation’s freshmen with his average of 19.1 points per game. He added 5.2 rebounds.
