Aaron Judge's flexor strain will sideline the Yankees' star slugger for at least 10 days, leaving the team's already struggling offense even more depleted. The Yankees, who have struggled significantly since mid-June, lost to the Phillies 9-4 on Saturday, highlighting their offensive woes in Judge's absence. The team hopes Judge can return as a designated hitter after 10 days, but this necessitates lineup adjustments, potentially impacting Giancarlo Stanton's playing time. The Yankees' recent performance mirrors that of the Colorado Rockies, Judge's former team, underscoring their current offensive struggles.
