What to know

  • Judge suffered a moderate right calf strain on September 19, just 11 days after returning from a three-month rib injury.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team is planning for Judge to miss the Wild Card Series, marking a major blow to New York's postseason hopes.
  • Judge's deeper playoff availability remains uncertain; he is technically eligible to return for later rounds if New York advances.
  • The Yankees, already heavily dependent on Judge's production, had one of baseball's lowest-scoring offenses during his earlier injury absence this season.

“Missing Judge, it hurts. We all know he's the best hitter in the game. For us in here, our mindset is, we're going to have to find a way.”
