The New York Yankees entered the AL Division Series without slugger Aaron Judge, dropping him from the roster against the Tampa Bay Rays. Judge’s omission follows a calf strain that sidelined him in the final weeks of the regular season.
The move stood out because Judge has been a postseason fixture since 2017, making the decision a rare surprise for the club. What remains unclear is whether the Yankees will adjust the lineup later in the series and how Judge’s health will impact the team’s offensive strategy.
