Yankees Star Aaron Judge Expected To Miss AL Wild Card Series With Calf Injury

Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day IL with a moderate right calf strain, got a PRP injection, and is not expected to be available for the AL Wild Card Series (though it’s not completely ruled out).
The Yankees still control the top AL wild-card spot and Boone says the club—accustomed to playing without Judge at times—expects to compete; New York is projected to meet Boston in the first round.
Judge has missed significant time this year (a rib stress fracture earlier), but when healthy he’s elite—three MVPs since 2022—and his availability would be a major postseason storyline.
