Terre Haute, IN, September 18, 2026 —
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, a development that casts significant doubt on his availability for the remainder of the regular season.
The injury, confirmed by team officials, is expected to sideline the prominent slugger for a substantial period. While the exact timeline for his return remains uncertain, projections suggest he may miss a considerable portion, if not all, of the remaining regular season games.
Judge, a key player for the Yankees, has been a consistent offensive force. His absence represents a significant blow to the team’s lineup as they navigate the latter stages of their schedule.
Further details regarding the specific nature of the strain or the comprehensive treatment plan were not immediately provided. The team is expected to offer updates as more information becomes available regarding Judge’s recovery process and potential return to play.
