Aaron Judge Not Expected to Play in AL Wild Card Due to Calf Strain

Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that Aaron Judge is not expected to play in the AL Wild Card series against the Red Sox after suffering a moderate right calf strain. Judge received a platelet-poor plasma injection and aims to return for the ALDS if New York advances. The injury occurred September 16, just seven games into his return from a 75-game absence due to a rib fracture. He finishes the regular season with 18 home runs and 41 RBIs.
