Yankees Sideline Aaron Judge With 10-Day IL Calf Strain, Threatening Final 9 Games

Summary
Aaron Judge is expected to miss most or all of New York’s remaining regular season after the Yankees said they will place him on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right calf strain.
Wednesday’s leg discomfort against Minnesota led to the move after Judge was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, though he initially called it precautionary.
Sept. 27 is the earliest possible return if the stint is backdated to Thursday, leaving only the regular-season finale within reach.
Seven games since his return from a broken rib, Judge went 4 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and one extra-base hit after missing more than three months.
