Aaron Judge Left Off Yankees’ Wild Card Series Roster vs Red Sox with Calf Injury
Aaron Judge took batting practice Monday and pushed to play, but the Yankees left him off the roster because of a moderate calf strain.
- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees released their 26-man Wild Card Series roster, officially excluding superstar Aaron Judge from the best-of-three matchup against the Boston Red Sox.
- Judge lobbied manager Aaron Boone despite a moderate right calf strain sustained on September 16, attempting to expedite recovery with a platelet-poor plasma injection on September 21.
- Yankees management prioritized long-term health, keeping the three-time American League MVP sidelined while including Giancarlo Stanton, who is also returning from calf injuries.
- New York's lineup now relies on Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt for offensive power; the club hopes to advance to the American League Division Series where Judge could potentially return.
- Game 1 begins at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday with reinforcements for Boston, as left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet returns from a shoulder injury to bolster the Red Sox bullpen.
