The New York Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for the near future as they chase the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays.

The two-time AL MVP has a flexor strain in his right elbow but no acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament that might cause a long-term layoff.

The New York Yankees have placed star outfielder Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, an injury he suffered during a 9-4 home loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in Friday’s series opener. Though significant, the injury is less devastating than initially feared.
