Aaron Judge's calf strain keeps him off Yankees' ALDS roster

Aaron Judge will not be on the Yankees’ roster for the ALDS, according to www.fantasypros.com.

The report, by Ari Koslow, Yankees Correspondent, confirms Judge remains sidelined with a calf strain. The news lands as the Yankees enter the postseason without their star slugger, a major development for a lineup built around his power.

The exact severity of the calf strain and a potential return timeline are not confirmed in the source. The listing, filed under the site’s Injury Updates category, offers no further detail on when Judge might be back or how the team plans to replace his bat in the series.

THE INJURY DETAILS

The calf strain is the culprit, as reported by www.fantasypros.com. Judge remains sidelined with the injury, which has officially kept him off the ALDS roster.

That means he will not play in the first round of the playoffs. The Yankees will have to navigate their postseason opener without their most dangerous bat in the lineup.

When the calf strain occurred and how long he has been dealing with it are not specified in the source. The report offers no timeline for his recovery or any indication of when he might be cleared to return.

The listing falls under the site’s Injury Updates category, pointing to an ongoing situation rather than a one-game absence. That categorization suggests concern for Judge’s health may extend beyond just this series.
