Aaron Judge, Other Yankees Stars' Statuses Unclear for Wild Card Round

The New York Yankees have several key players who could miss out on the Wild Card round due to injuries.

The New York Yankees face an uncertain future in the Wild Card round, as multiple key players are battling injuries. Outfielder and multiple-time MVP Aaron Judge is a major concern, as he has a moderate strain and is currently resting for the postseason. Giannis Stanton, another high-profile player, is dealing with a calf injury and has struggled to produce this season, hitting just three homers and driving in 14 runs in 24 games.

Trent Grisham has a hamstring issue that has sidelined him since June, and he too has been close to returning. Left-hander Ryan Weathers has a forearm injury but has thrown in live batting practice recently, which could mean he's ready for the postseason. Manager Aaron Boone has expressed optimism about all four players making a return before the Wild Card round begins on Tuesday.
