Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow following an MRI, which ruled out acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament. Despite missing a game, he is hopeful for a return in 10 to 14 days, likely as a designated hitter. Leading the majors with a .342 batting average and 37 home runs, his injury occurs as the Yankees face increased competition in the AL East. Amed Rosario has been acquired to fill Judge’s roster spot while his manager expresses relief at the diagnosis.
"You never want to go in the tube. It's never fun. You don't know what's going to show up. That's why I kind of pushed off a lot of that imaging and stuff like that because if I don't know what's going on, it can't hurt you, I guess."
"All in all, we got good news today. I think all of us kind of feared the worst."
"I couldn't throw past 60 feet. We're going up against a Phillies team, they can hit the ball over the park. I just didn't want to put our pitchers in jeopardy, just not be able to come up and make a play for them."
