## Resource

Aaron Judge’s return to the Yankees lineup was cut short again—this time due to tightness in his lower right leg, just seven games after coming back from a three-month rib injury. The team’s playoff push is now hanging in the balance as they trail the Rays by four games, and with Judge sidelined even for a short stint, fans are on edge. Despite playing through pain in a 13-inning loss to the Twins, Judge prioritized team health, calling it “just like those nagging spring training issues.” With an off-day ahead, hope remains he’ll bounce back quickly—but for now, the Yankees’ biggest worry isn’t the loss, it’s keeping their MVP healthy.
