Judge Out: Yankees Star Misses ALDS Against Rays
6 Oct
Summary
- Aaron Judge is sidelined for the ALDS due to a right calf strain.
- Manager Aaron Boone felt Judge needed more time to ramp up.
- The Yankees added pitcher Ryan Weathers, DFA'd Amed Rosario.
Aaron Judge has been left off the New York Yankees' roster for their American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, as he continues to recover from a right calf strain. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Judge, who finished the season on the injured list, was not quite ready to return, needing more time to hit and increase his running intensity.
The Yankees have made other roster adjustments, adding left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers, who has been ramping up after a forearm injury, to serve as a reliever. Utilityman Amed Rosario was removed from the roster. Without Judge, rookie Spencer Jones is likely to start in right field for the Yankees against the Rays' predominantly right-handed pitching staff. Gerrit Cole is slated to start Game 1.
