Yankees Not Expecting Aaron Judge To Be Ready For Wild Card Series Against Red Sox
The New York Yankees will likely have to start the postseason without Aaron Judge
The New York Yankees are not anticipating outfielder Aaron Judge to be fit for the upcoming Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox. The team's manager, Aaron Boone, revealed that Judge is expected to miss the series due to a moderate calf strain. Judge has had a PRP injection in his right calf since the off day. While the Yankees have the option to avoid the Wild Card Series, it would require a highly unlikely scenario.
The Tampa Bay Rays could secure the division and claim a bye with just one victory against the Yankees this week. The Yankees have a history of outperforming the Red Sox, winning seven games against them this season, four without Judge included. Nonetheless, the Yankees would be more comfortable having Judge in their lineup for the October series.
To advance to the American League Division Series, the Yankees will need to overcome the Red Sox without their star player.
