Yankees’ star center fielder Aaron Judge is expected to miss a period of time after being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The injury was discovered through imaging, and while there is no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament, Judge will need to recover before returning to play. The two-time American League Most Valuable Player is a key contributor for the Yankees, and his absence could impact the team’s performance in the upcoming season. The exact duration of his sidelined time has not been disclosed, but the team is likely to provide an update as more information becomes available.
