Yankees unsure if Aaron Judge will return this season due to injury
Summary

The New York Yankees are uncertain about the return of All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain. Manager Aaron Boone stated there is no timeline for Judge's recovery, expressing hope but acknowledging the challenges ahead. Judge recently returned from a three-month absence due to a right rib stress fracture, but his return was short-lived, lasting just 6½ games. With the Yankees clinching a wild-card berth, the team will have to adapt and pursue their postseason goals potentially without Judge's contributions.
