The Aporia · Yankees slugger Aaron Judge to miss most or all of rest of regular season with a right calf strain

Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees' star slugger and three-time AL MVP, will likely miss most or all of the remaining regular season due to a right calf strain. The injury prompted the Yankees to place Judge on the 10-day injured list; the move could be backdated to Thursday, potentially allowing Judge to return for the team's final game on September 27. Prior to getting hurt, Judge had struggled since his return from a broken rib, going 4 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and only one extra-base hit in seven games.

Story summary

Aaron Judge, the three-time AL MVP for the New York Yankees, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right calf strain. The injury occurred during Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins and was initially described as precautionary but later confirmed by an MRI. Judge went 4-for-23 with 13 strikeouts in seven games since returning from a broken rib that sidelined him for over three months.

The Yankees are hopeful Judge can return for the regular-season finale on September 27, though it's uncertain if he will be game-ready given his recent performance and the severity of the strain. The timing is critical as the team competes for a playoff spot, currently five games behind the Tampa Bay Rays with only nine regular-season games left.

Despite Judge’s optimism about playing in October, manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that the team must prioritize Judge's health over immediate needs during the final stretch of the season.
