Overview
- The Yankees placed Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list Saturday after an MRI confirmed a right calf strain and made the move retroactive to Sept. 17.
- New York recalled utilityman/outfielder Max Schuemann from Triple-A as the corresponding roster move to fill Judge’s spot on the active roster.
- Manager Aaron Boone declined to give a return timeline, and Judge’s status is uncertain for the Sept. 27 regular-season finale and the Wild Card Series that begins Sept. 29.
- Judge had just returned last week from a broken rib and was 4-for-23 with one extra-base hit in seven games, a short layoff that raises concern about reinjury and timing.
- The Yankees have already clinched a playoff berth and plan to rely on their starting rotation, bullpen and roster depth while bookmakers showed little immediate change to the team’s World Series odds.
