Judge headed back to IL with right calf strain; no timeline for his return

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is being placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right calf strain, discovered via MRI on Thursday in Phoenix. Manager Aaron Boone declined to provide the severity of the injury or a return timeline, and could not confirm whether Judge would be available for the playoffs. At minimum, Judge will miss the weekend series against the D-backs and a four-game series against the Rays, with the Yankees trailing Tampa Bay by five games at the time of the announcement.
