The All-Star festivities next week in Seattle will have a 6-foot-7, 282-pound-sized absence.

It was clear since Aaron Judge was named a starting outfielder for the American League that he would not be playing in the game because of a torn ligament in his right big toe, but manager Aaron Boone said Friday that the reigning AL MVP is not expected to attend the two days of All-Star events either.

“I think he’s staying here to continue treatment and baseball stuff,” Boone said before the Yankees lost to the Cubs, 3-0, in a series opener in The Bronx.

Judge, who suffered the toe injury June 3 at Dodger Stadium, has advanced to running at about 80 percent on an anti-gravity treadmill in addition to taking light swings and long tossing.

Staying in New York for the All-Star break will allow Judge to continue that rehab process under the Yankees’ watch instead of making an appearance at one of MLB’s jewel events, which would include plenty of time on his feet.

Gerrit Cole is the only Yankee scheduled to attend the All-Star Game, perhaps even as the AL’s starting pitcher, though that won’t be decided until Monday.

Nestor Cortes won’t be coming back this month.

The left-hander said last week that he hoped to return from his rotator cuff strain by late July, but that was ruled out on Friday when the Yankees transferred him to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster for Carlos Rodon, who started versus the Cubs.

Now, the earliest Cortes can be activated is Aug. 3.

He is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Sunday and then another Thursday in Tampa.

If everything goes well, Cortes could begin a rehab assignment after that, now with enough time to make at least three minor league starts before he returns to the Yankees.

A day after Luis Severino was clobbered for seven runs and 10 hits in 2 ⅔ innings against the Orioles, the Yankees continued to search for an explanation of his struggles this season. Boone mentioned working on Severino’s delivery as part of a potential solution.

“Let’s start with health — I do feel like he’s healthy,” Boone said. “I think the stuff is at least close to being there. The [velocity] is there, it’s coming out well. The secondary’s been a little inconsistent for him, obviously, command’s been an issue for him – that next level of command. But I do think there’s also a fine line sometimes between a guy that’s really struggling and being locked in.

“Even though the results have not been there and it’s been a struggle, maybe it’s just one little thing that kind of unlocks him, especially when you’re considering the health seems good. That may be something small in his delivery. It may be something small with a tell or a deception piece. Then are we airtight on our game plan? And then in the end, execution.”

Jake Bauers, who landed on the IL on Friday with a left rotator cuff contusion, received a cortisone shot Thursday that left him feeling “significantly better,” according to Boone.

Still, Boone did not have a timeline for how long Bauers might be out.
