  "summary": "Aaron Judge, the Yankees' captain and three-time AL MVP, was left off the roster for the AL Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays due to a calf strain. Judge has not played since September 16, 2021, after suffering a fractured rib from May 31 to September 8 and a calf strain in September, which limited him to 66 games and a .241 batting average. Despite his absence, Giancarlo Stanton, who has also been dealing with a calf injury, remained on the 26-man roster for the series, which starts on Saturday.",
