New York Yankees star Aaron Judge was held out of Saturday's lineup and will be placed on the injured list ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies after suffering a flexor strain in his right elbow.

However, the Yankees were dealt a tough blow after 2024 AL MVP Aaron Judge suffered a right flexor strain during the sixth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays. Judge made a throw home in an effort to prevent the tying run and ended up feeling pain in his elbow.

Aaron Boone said the slugger is heading to the IL with a right flexor strain after missing Saturday’s game against the Phillies. Boone found out before the 9-4 loss, as Judge underwent an MRI, received a PRP injection and some medicine, and visited with the Yankees’ team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad.
