Yankees not expecting Aaron Judge for AL wild-card series in massive blow

The Yankees are planning to start the playoffs without Aaron Judge. Manager Aaron Boone stated on Tuesday that while he is not expecting the captain to be available for the AL wild-card series beginning in one week, he is not ruling it out entirely. To assist with his recovery, Judge received a platelet-poor plasma injection on Monday. This potential absence represents a massive blow to the team as they prepare for the upcoming postseason matchups.
