Aaron Judge receives injection for calf injury, postseason status uncertain
Summary

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge had a platelet poor plasma injection in his sore right calf, raising concerns about his availability for the postseason. Judge, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained soleus muscle, was injured during a game against the Twins last week. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that while Judge is eligible to return for the regular-season finale, his participation remains unlikely at this time. The Yankees, currently in a tight race for the wild card, have performed decently in Judge's absence, holding a 41-25 record in games he played this season.
