Yankees news: Spencer Jones joins the walking wounded
Spencer Jones sits out Saturday; Cam Schlittler’s stupendous season; the implications of the Judge injury
On September 15, 2026, New York Yankees player Spencer Jones was sidelined with a sore foot, adding to the team's M*A*S*H unit. Jones had been performing well at the plate, making his inclusion in the starting lineup crucial. The soreness was attributed to an incident from Friday, where Jones had jammed his heel while playing in Arizona.
Despite the setback, Jones remained optimistic about his chances of returning in time for the postseason. Meanwhile, starting pitcher Cam Schlittler has been in sensational form, leading to MVP chatter and comparisons to future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. Schlittler's 1.95 ERA and 21 starts of one run or fewer this season are among the best in franchise history.
However, there's a new addition to the injured list as outfielder Aaron Judge is dealing with a calf injury, this time affecting his inner, lower calf. Judge's injury raises questions about his availability and performance during the postseason run.
