Yankees playoff roster updates on Judge, Schmidt, Stanton and Grisham
Several roster questions still loom as the Yankees get ready to host a best-of-three Wild Card series on Tuesday night, most notably Aaron Judge.
New York – Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham, along with rookie pitcher Carlos Lagrange, are in play for the Yankees' Wild Card series roster, according to Thursday's update. Meanwhile, outfielder Clarke Schmidt has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right biceps neuritis, while Aaron Judge continues to battle a strained right calf.
Judge has expressed his desire to contribute to the team and recognizes the importance of his role in the playoff lineup. Despite Boone's comments about Judge's moderate strain, the captain remains optimistic about his potential return for the best-of-three series opener.
