Aaron Judge scratches the Yankees range due to the potential injury reverse

New York Yankees have had trouble lately. Friday’s defeat against Philadelphia’s Phillies marked a second consecutive defeat and was the sixth team defeat in their last ten games.

However, Yankees’ concerns could rise as the team monitors the health of the superstar Aaron Judge.

The title MVP of the American League was scratched from the programming on Saturday due to what the manager of the Yankees, Aaron Boone, described as a “elbow problem”.

“He is dealing with an elbow problem,” Boone told journalists on Saturday morning.

Boone also noted that the judge had had difficulty when he launched the outdoor field ball during the 12-5 Friday defeat against the Phillies. The judge was not withdrawn from the programming of this match.

Apparent discomfort caused MRI. Boone said on Saturday morning that the team was still waiting for the imagery results.

“Obviously, you asked questions about this in Toronto, but he felt like it was the day of leave,” said Boone. “Then, (Friday) night, he could not really throw out of the outside field. So he entered today and obtained the imagery on this. Obviously, it is a concern, but we will wait and see.”

The judge went without success on Friday but recorded a point produced on a sacrificial fly in seventh round.

The judge was listed as the designated yankees shot when New York played the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday. He returned to his normal place in the right field on Friday while the Yankees opened a series of three games against the Phillies.
