Aaron Judge to IL with calf strain, likely to miss rest of regular season

  • The New York Yankees announced Friday that captain Aaron Judge will be placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right calf strain.
  • Judge suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, just seven games removed from a 99-day absence for a rib fracture.
  • Ranking last in K% at 26.1% and 29th in wRC+ at 90, the Yankees' offense struggled significantly during Judge's previous absence from June through September.
  • Utilityman Max Schuemann will be recalled from Triple-A to replace the slugger, who is eligible to return Sunday, Sept. 27, the final regular-season day.
  • Although the second-place Bronx Bombers have already secured a postseason berth, they will play the final 10 games without their star player, worsening their odds of snatching the division title from Tampa Bay.
