New York Yankees' star slugger Aaron Judge will be placed on the injured list with a right elbow flexor strain. The injury, which doesn't involve a UCL tear, is expected to sideline him for only 10 days. Upon his return, he'll start as a designated hitter before gradually returning to the outfield. Judge, a leading AL MVP candidate, is currently leading in several key batting categories. His absence comes at a critical time for the Yankees, who are currently six games behind the Blue Jays in the AL East.
