Aaron Judge Undergoing Testing for Elbow Issue: What It Means for the Yankees

Aaron Judge is undergoing testing for an elbow issue, as confirmed by Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The scans were ordered after Judge experienced difficulty making throws from right field in a recent game against the Phillies. The injury likely occurred during a game against the Blue Jays earlier in the week, and the discomfort resurfaced in subsequent games.

Further details will be available once the test results are in. Boone did not provide information on the severity of the potential injury. The Yankees are hoping for a positive outcome as a significant injury to Judge could impact their postseason aspirations and chances of returning to the World Series.

Judge is having an outstanding season, leading in various statistical categories and being a top contender for the AL MVP award. His absence due to injury could affect the MVP race and the Yankees' playoff hopes, especially considering their recent struggles in the AL East.

If Judge needs to spend time on the injured list, the Yankees have contingency plans in place to manage the situation. While his absence would be a significant loss, the team is prepared to adjust their lineup and strategies accordingly.
