  "account": "The New York Yankees are grappling with the uncertainty of Aaron Judge's return this season after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain. The three-time MVP, who recently returned after a three-month absence, now has the Yankees wondering if he'll be able to play again this season. Yankees manager Aaron Boone admitted that they have no timeline for Judge's return, stating, \"I don’t know. I can’t predict anything. … I mean, we have no idea, we’re in the early stages. We’ll just obviously treat it and see what transpires.\" Boone also expressed hope that Judge could be an option at some point. The Yankees have survived without Judge for most of the season, including a three-month stint when he was out with a right rib stress fracture, but they're now concerned about how they'll handle the postseason without their superstar.",
