Yankees' Aaron Judge Unlikely for Wild Card Series Due to Calf Injury
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge is unlikely to play in the upcoming Wild Card Series due to a moderate-grade strain in his right calf. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Judge received a platelet poor plasma injection as part of treatment, with recovery expected to take six to eight weeks. While Judge is eligible to return for the regular-season finale, the team is not preparing for his postseason participation. Judge had recently returned from a broken rib and has struggled with performance since.
