Overview

  • Judge sat out Saturday’s game against the Phillies after struggling to make throws in Friday’s 12-5 loss and underwent imaging on his right elbow.
  • He first winced on a throw in Toronto on Tuesday, served as designated hitter Wednesday and returned to right field Friday before being sidelined.
  • The results of scans conducted by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad will clarify if any structural damage requires an injured list stint.
  • Judge leads MLB with a .342 batting average and 1.160 OPS while ranking second with 37 home runs, making his availability vital to the Yankees’ offense.
  • New York has slipped from an AL East lead to trail Toronto by 5½ games and holds the top Wild Card spot, recalling the team’s 2023 collapse during Judge’s extended absence.
