New York Yankees star Aaron Judge missed Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies with an elbow injury, and the slugger is now headed to the injured list.
The Yankees fell 9-4 to the Phillies on Saturday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., which marked their third consecutive loss. Judge played in Friday night’s 12-5 loss to Philadelphia, but Aaron Boone announced before Saturday’s game that Judge was dealing with an “elbow issue” and would sit out.
Following his team’s latest loss, Boone shared some new information about Judge’s injury. Judge has been diagnosed with a flexor strain, but the Yankees believe he can return in less than two weeks.
When Judge returns to the lineup, Boone said it will initially be as a designated hitter.
