Yankees star Aaron Judge is headed to the 10-day injured list with a right elbow flexor strain. Tests revealed no UCL damage, and the team hopes he'll only miss the minimum time. Upon his return, he'll initially serve as the designated hitter. His absence is a significant blow to the Yankees, who are currently vying for a playoff spot. The team acquired Ryan McMahon to bolster their infield. Judge, currently leading several major offensive categories, expressed confidence in his teammates to fill the void.
