Aaron Judge’s status for the postseason is a point of focus after he deals with a calf injury, but former coach Sean Casey says the Yankees’ star may still be able to return in time. Casey characterizes Judge as highly resilient and suggests that his toughness and approach could help him handle recovery demands.

The reports describe Casey as one of Judge’s former coaches and present his comments as a hopeful assessment rather than a guarantee of a specific return date. While both outlets reference the same injury and the same general expectation—Judge having a favorable chance to be ready for playoff baseball—they do not provide new medical details, timelines, or confirmation from team officials. The emphasis is on Casey’s personal evaluation of Judge’s mindset and ability to bounce back.

Overall, the outlets align on the core message: despite the calf issue, Judge is viewed by Casey as a “tough” player who may be positioned to contribute when the postseason begins.
