Yankees' Aaron Judge Placed on IL as Oblique Injury Is 'Pretty Significant'

The New York Yankees' injury woes worsened on Sunday when right fielder Aaron Judge was placed on the injury list with an oblique injury.

Manager Aaron Boone called the injury "pretty significant," per the New York Post.

Judge exited the Yankees' game against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday with what the team announced was a left oblique injury, for which he went to New York Presbyterian Hospital to get further evaluation and an MRI.

Following the Yankees' 9-2 victory, manager Aaron Boone admitted to MLB's Bryan Hoch that there was "probably not" a chance that Judge would avoid the injury list.
