PHOENIX (AP) --- Three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge will miss most or all of the
rest of the regular season after the New York Yankees announced Friday they are
placing him on the 10-day injured list because of a right calf strain.
New York said it will make the roster move on Saturday. The placement could be
backdated to Thursday, meaning it is possible Judge could return for New York's
regular-season finale on Sept. 27.
Judge was removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning Wednesday during a
game against the Minnesota Twins because of the discomfort in his leg. At the
time, he said it was a precautionary move.
Judge was 4 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and one extra-base hit in seven games
since returning last week from a broken rib, which kept him out of the lineup
for more than three months.
