NEW YORK — The New York Yankees placed Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list Friday, a day after announcing the slugger has a stress fracture in one of his ribs that will keep him off the field indefinitely.

The three-time AL MVP will rest and have limited activity before getting re-evaluated and 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.”

“Very disappointed,” Judge said before the Yankees opened a three-game series against the Red Sox. “That’s why we went through every measure we could to get an expert to take a look to see what was going on in there, but definitely not what you want to hear — any fracture or anything like that.”

“He really is going to have some downtime,” general manager Brian Cashman said.

Historic Giant

CHICAGO — Matt Chapman joined some select San Francisco baseball company — including Willie Mays — with his massive day at the plate. The 33-year-old third baseman hit his fourth career grand slam, a three-run homer and added a sacrifice fly to finish with a career-high eight RBIs in the Giants’ 18-3 rout of the slumping Chicago Cubs.

The eight RBIs tied the Giants’ San Francisco-era record, shared by five others. The first to do it after the team relocated from New York in 1958 was Mays in 1961. The others on the list are Orlando Cepeda, Brandon Crawford, Joc Pederson and Wilmer Flores.
