The New York Yankees have been facing some challenges recently. Their recent loss to the Philadelphia Phillies was their second consecutive defeat and the fourth loss in their last ten games.
There are growing concerns for “The Bronx Bombers” as they keep a close eye on the health of their superstar player, Aaron Judge. The reigning American League MVP was pulled from Saturday’s lineup due to an elbow issue, as described by Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

“He’s dealing with an elbow issue,” Boone told reporters on Saturday morning.
Boone mentioned that Judge had difficulty throwing the ball from the outfield during Friday’s game against the Phillies, but he was not taken out of the lineup at that time.
An MRI was eventually scheduled due to the discomfort. Boone stated that the team was awaiting the results of the imaging on Saturday morning.

Judge did not get any hits on Friday’s game but did manage to record an RBI on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning.
Judge was initially listed as the designated hitter for the Yankees during their game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. He returned to his usual position in right field on Friday as the Yankees began a series against the Phillies.
