Aaron Judge calf injection leaves Yankees postseason outlook uncertain

Yankees star Aaron Judge is unlikely to play in the Wild Card Series after suffering a moderate right calf strain and receiving a platelet-poor plasma injection. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge will avoid baseball activities for several days and is not expected to return for the postseason opener, though he has not been ruled out entirely. Judge is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list for Sunday’s regular-season finale against Baltimore, but the Yankees’ quick playoff turnaround makes his availability doubtful. The injury comes shortly after Judge returned from a rib injury that sidelined him for more than three months.
