Yanks' Boone 'not going to predict anything' as Judge (calf) returns to IL
Three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge is returning to the injured list -- this time because of a right calf strain -- and Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't sure whether the slugger will be able to return for the postseason.
The New York Yankees are facing another injury setback with star slugger Aaron Judge heading back to the injured list due to a right calf strain. This is a significant blow to the team's chances, especially with the postseason looming. Judge's absence has already been felt, and his return to the IL raises concerns about his availability for the playoffs.
The Yankees are no stranger to injuries, but Judge's situation is particularly concerning given his importance to the team's success. As a three-time AL MVP, Judge's presence in the lineup is a major factor in the Yankees' ability to compete. With the postseason just around the corner, manager Aaron Boone is wisely taking a cautious approach, not ruling out Judge's return but also not making any promises.

The team's depth and resilience will be put to the test as they navigate the final stretch of the regular season. Will Judge be able to return in time for the postseason, and what impact will his absence have on the Yankees' chances of making a deep run? Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
