## Resource

Aaron Judge pulled himself out of a crucial Yankees game early after feeling tightness in his lower right leg, opting to protect his long-term health over pushing through pain. With an off day ahead and playoff implications looming, the team wisely prioritized his well-being — especially as they gear up for a pivotal series against the Rays. While the exact nature of the injury remains uncertain, the move feels like a smart gamble to avoid another extended absence. Judge’s leadership and presence are vital to their postseason push, and this decision underscores how much the Yankees rely on him staying healthy.
