Yankees face Aaron Judge dilemma with playoffs looming
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Yankees star Aaron Judge is dealing with tightness in his lower right leg, raising concerns about his readiness for upcoming games and the playoffs.
- The team hopes an off day and treatment will help Judge recover, but his status for Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks remains uncertain.
- Playing on artificial turf over the weekend could aggravate Judge’s soft-tissue injury, so the Yankees may rest him to prioritize his health for the postseason.
- No immediate injury replacement has been called up, indicating the Yankees hope Judge can return before the regular season ends without going on the injured list.
- Judge has struggled offensively since returning from a rib injury, and the team was counting on consistent at-bats to regain his timing before the leg issue arose.
