Aaron Judge Left Off Yankees’ Wild Card Series Roster vs Red Sox with Calf Injury
The Yankees will prepare for Game 1 without their MVP slugger after a moderate calf strain kept him from returning on a normal timeline.
- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees begin their American League Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium without back-to-back American League MVP Aaron Judge on the roster.
- Yankees officials excluded Judge to prevent re-injury to his soleus muscle, which sustained a moderate strain on September 16; moderate calf strains typically require 3-6 weeks of recovery per the Boston Sports Medicine & Research Institute.
- Despite claiming he was "feeling great" and actively lobbying to play, manager Aaron Boone prioritized medical caution, noting the timeline has been aggressive given the injury's nature.
- Slugger Giancarlo Stanton secured a spot on the 26-man roster despite not playing since April, likely to serve situationally as a pinch-hitter to reinforce the depleted lineup.
- If the Yankees advance past Boston to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series, Judge could potentially return to the roster provided he is deemed 100% healthy by medical staff.
