New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a moderate right soleus muscle calf strain, casting uncertainty over his availability for the upcoming postseason. Judge received a platelet-poor plasma injection and was shut down from baseball activities. Manager Aaron Boone announced the team is planning without Judge for the American League Wild Card Series. A potential return later in October remains dependent on healing progress. This injury follows a brief six-game return from a previous right rib stress fracture sustained earlier in the season. Judge experienced lower leg discomfort during a game against the Minnesota Twins on September 16, resulting in a placement on the ten-day injured list. The absence removes the team primary offensive contributor entering high-stakes elimination games, forcing lineup adjustments across the roster.
