Yankees place Aaron Judge on injured list with calf strain

Summary

The New York Yankees will place Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list due to a calf strain. Judge had just returned to the lineup after recovering from a rib injury, playing seven games with a batting average of.174. He exited Wednesday's game early due to a lower leg injury but initially downplayed its severity. The Yankees now face uncertainty regarding Judge's availability for the postseason, as he won't be eligible to return until the regular season's final game.
