The New York Yankees, who rarely rebound in the second half of the year, faced a "big bad news." Starboard Aaron Judge suffered an elbow injury and will be out of power for the time being.

On the 27th (Korea time), the Yankees listed Judge on the 10-day injured list (IL). The injury is a flexor strain on the right elbow. Fortunately, there were no abnormalities in the bones and ligaments.

In an interview with local media shortly after losing 4-9 to the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, `There are no injuries to the lateral ligament (UCL). That's a relief. When he returns from the IL, he'll be a designated hitter for a few days. After that, I hope he will return to the outfield as soon as his condition improves during throwing training.




Judge injured his elbow in an away game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center on the 23rd. In the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-3 lead, he caught Toronto George Springer's right-handed hit with two outs and second base, and then threw to catch Davis Schneider, who was rushing home from second base, but his elbow was strained.

Judge then frowned as he caught Alejandro Kirk's deep fly to right field with one out and second base and threw it hard into the infield, bending and stretching his right elbow in the bottom of the seventh inning. He announced that his elbow injury was not light.

However, Judge played the game until the end, and played both the game against Toronto on the 24th and the home game against the Philadelphia Phillies on the 26th. In the end, ahead of the match against Philadelphia, X-ray test results showed that there was an abnormality in the flexor muscles, so he was put on the IL.

Judge said in an interview after his IL registration was confirmed, `The situation at that time was a matter of whether he was dead or alive. It's a crisis that could be tied because they're leading by one point, but they had to play something. I felt a pain. But I had to put up with it and run. It was such a big game, and (AL East No. 1) Toronto is a global rival.

Judge went 0-for-3 against Philadelphia on the 26th and said it was hard to throw even 60 feet when throwing. Judge "It's been hard to throw properly in the last two days. I wanted to take a day off and see how things are. I wanted to play again today, but I decided to go to the IL with the thought of doing so when I needed to play for the team. That's the result of the elbow examination"It was regrettable.

It is the first time in his life that Judge has injured his elbow. Initially, he refused to list himself on the IL, saying he would play as a designated hitter because there was no problem with hitting, but the Yankees thought differently.




As the jersey fell out, Cody Bellinger stepped up to right field on the day.

Judge, who missed the game for the first time this season, has to rest for at least 10 days, so he has a hard time chasing the Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh, who leads the AL in this category with 39 home runs.

However, Judge leads the AL in most offensive categories, including batting average (0.342), scoring (90), hitting (129), RBI (85), on-base percentage (0.449), slugging percentage (0.711), and OPS (1.160).

It is the first time in more than two years that Judge has been on the IL since he injured his right thumb while playing defense against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on June 4, 2023.
