Yankees Lose Aaron Judge to IL, but Here’s Why It’s Not a Total Disaster
- Aaron Judge, captain of the New York Yankees, was placed on the injured list Saturday after being diagnosed with a strain affecting the muscles on the inside of his right elbow.
- Judge first felt the pain during the sixth inning in a Tuesday game at Toronto but delayed imaging because he believed uncertainty could not worsen the injury.
- Despite his injury, Judge made a catch and strong throw in the seventh inning at the Rogers Centre, though he struggled throwing beyond 60 feet on Friday.
- Manager Aaron Boone said Judge's ulnar collateral ligament showed no damage and expressed hope for a 10-day to two-week recovery, noting "we got good news today."
- Judge will initially return as a designated hitter, and while sidelined, he trusts his teammates can compensate during his absence amid the Yankees’ recent struggles.
