The New York Yankees are set to assess the severity of Aaron Judge’s hip strain on Monday. Judge, the Yankees’ star right fielder, was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles after suffering the injury while running out a ground ball.
The Yankees have not yet released any details about the extent of Judge’s injury, but they are expected to provide an update on Monday. Judge is one of the most important players on the team, and his absence could be a major blow to the Yankees’ playoff hopes.
Judge has been one of the most productive players in baseball this season. He leads the Yankees in home runs (27) and RBIs (67), and is batting .292 with an OPS of .945. He has also been a key contributor in the outfield, with 11 defensive runs saved and a UZR/150 of 11.7.
The Yankees have already been without several key players this season due to injury, including Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez, and Luis Severino. If Judge is forced to miss significant time, it could be a major setback for the team’s playoff chances.
The Yankees will be hoping for good news on Monday when they assess the severity of Judge’s hip strain. Until then, they will have to wait and see how long Judge will be out of action.
