## Resource

Aaron Judge’s season hit a major bump as he was pinch-hit for in the sixth inning due to tightness in his lower right leg — a worrying sign just weeks after recovering from a three-month rib injury. The Yankees, already locked into a playoff spot, are now watching closely as they head into their final 10 games, with crucial division matchups looming. His absence has been felt immediately, as the offense sputtered without his power and presence — even though his recent stats haven’t matched his impact. Despite earlier optimism from both manager and player about his health since returning, this latest setback underscores how vital Judge remains to the team’s postseason push.
