Yankees' Aaron Judge to Go on IL Because of Calf Injury, Aaron Boone Says

There's bad news for New York Yankees star Aaron Judge, who will have to go on the injured list due to a mild calf strain.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday the hope is that Judge's injury won't keep him out very long.

"He's got a very mild strain of his calf," Boone said. "It's something that I think he really wants to work through here and wants to be out there and feels like it's a day-to-day thing which it very well may be."

Judge was removed from Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the sixth inning for pinch hitter Mike Tauchman.
