Yankees Weighing ALDS Roster Decision for Aaron Judge After Calf Injury

The New York Yankees are debating whether to include Aaron Judge on their ALDS roster against the Rays following a Sept. 16 right calf strain. After missing the wild-card series, Judge took live batting practice Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, followed by on-field BP at Tropicana Field on Friday. Manager Aaron Boone noted the series' favorable schedule could allow Judge to serve as a pinch-hitter in Florida before potentially returning to right field for Game 3 at home.
