Yankees Star Judge Lands on IL Again

18 Sep

Summary

Aaron Judge suffers a right calf strain, landing him on the injured list.
This injury likely ends his regular season with only seven games played.
He could potentially return for the AL wild-card series if his body cooperates.

Yankees star Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, September 18, with a right calf strain. This injury is expected to end his regular season, as he has only played seven games since returning from a 75-game absence due to a rib fracture. The 34-year-old three-time AL MVP left Wednesday's game with lower leg tightness. His move to the IL will be official Saturday when a roster replacement is summoned.

Judge would be eligible to return on Sunday, September 27, the final day of the regular season. However, a return at that point seems unlikely. If he can play, it would be during the club's anticipated AL wild-card series matchup against the Boston Red Sox. This playoff appearance depends on his physical condition, especially considering he was limited to 66 games this season due to various injuries. Other players like Trent Grisham are also returning from injuries.
