On August 26th, 2019, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time this season. Judge has been dealing with a left oblique strain since mid-April, and the injury has kept him out of the lineup for much of the season.
Judge first suffered the injury in April while swinging a bat during a game against the Boston Red Sox. He was placed on the injured list shortly after, and he missed nearly two months of action. He returned to the lineup in late June, but the injury has continued to bother him throughout the season.
The Yankees have been cautious with Judge’s injury, as oblique strains can be difficult to heal. Judge has had to take regular days off to rest and receive treatment, and he has been limited to designated hitter duties in order to reduce the strain on his body.
The loss of Judge has been a major blow to the Yankees’ lineup this season. He is one of the team’s most important players, and his absence has been felt in the team’s offensive production. The Yankees have been forced to rely on other players to fill the void left by Judge, and they have had mixed success in doing so.
It is unclear when Judge will be able to return to the lineup. The Yankees are taking a cautious approach with his injury, and they are not willing to rush him back until he is fully healed. Until then, the Yankees will have to make do without one of their most important players.
