The New York Yankees place outfielder Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, an injury he sustains during the team’s extra-inning loss to the Minnesota Twins. Multiple reports say the move is tied to an incident that occurs during games in late-week play.
Details on timing vary slightly across outlets. Yahoo Sports reports the IL placement happens on Friday and that the Yankees make the roster move on Saturday, with the designation potentially backdated to Thursday. That would create a possible return window for the season’s final regular-season game on Sept. 27, depending on how he progresses. Other accounts, while agreeing on the injury and IL placement, also indicate Judge could miss most or all of the remainder of the regular season.
Yahoo Sports further reports the Yankees will recall utilityman Max Schuemann from Triple-A to take Judge’s roster spot. The reports do not indicate a longer-term diagnosis beyond the calf strain at this time.
