Aaron Judge Removed With Leg Tightness

Aaron Judge is back on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, 11 days after returning from a fractured rib that sidelined him for more than three months. The Yankees have not provided a recovery timetable, leaving his postseason availability uncertain, although a backdated placement could allow him to return for the Sept. 27 regular-season finale. Judge went 4-for-23 with one home run after returning and was removed from Wednesday’s game against Minnesota because of persistent leg discomfort. New York, which has clinched a playoff berth, is pursuing the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays and recalled Max Schuemann to replace Judge. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is progressing from a thumb injury and could return during the current homestand, while the Yankees opened their series in Arizona with a 9-2 win behind Gerrit Cole.
