Yankees confirm Aaron Judge will miss AL wild-card series

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team does not expect slugger Aaron Judge to play in the upcoming American League wild-card series, although his return has not been ruled out. Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, leaving his availability for the final regular-season games and the postseason uncertain. He left the sixth inning of a 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field after reporting right lower-leg tightness, and the move means he will miss at least ten days.
