The New York Yankees and outfielder Aaron Judge avoids the worst as he is only dealing with a right flexor strain instead of a possible torn UCL.
The New York Yankees placed Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right flexor strain as fears were calmed over speculation that the injury could have been more serious.
An MRI showed that Judge did not have any acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, which would have likely required Tommy John surgery and an extended stay on the IL. He missed just his second game of the season as the team lost to the Philadelphia Phillies.
He had a platelet-rich plasma injection, and he could return to action anywhere from 10 to 14 days.
