The New York Yankees are placing star outfielder Aaron Judge on the injured list with a right calf strain, the team announced. The move is retroactive, and the Yankees are expected to provide further details on his recovery timeline.
Judge, a former American League MVP and perennial All-Star, has been a key part of the Yankees' lineup. The calf strain is the latest in a series of injuries that have affected the slugger in recent seasons.
The Yankees will need to fill the void in their outfield and batting order while Judge recovers. The team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move.
Further updates on Judge's condition and expected return will be provided as they become available.
