Yankees captain Aaron Judge is expected to miss the team’s Wild Card Series as he deals with a calf injury. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports report that Judge is undergoing treatment and is not set to return to baseball activities on a near-term basis.
Both outlets say Judge received an injection as part of his recovery plan. CBS Sports specifies that he received a PRP injection on Monday, while Yahoo Sports describes it as a PPP injection in the calf. After receiving the injection, Judge is shut down from baseball activities, indicating a cautious approach to his timeline.
The reports focus mainly on the injury update and expected availability rather than offering detailed timing estimates. With both sources aligning on the injection-based treatment and the likelihood of missing the postseason opener, the primary difference is the exact description of the injection name rather than the overall prognosis.
