Lands on injured list Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a mild calf strain, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact Judge was reportedly dealing with simple "lower-body tightness," but the issue is apparently worse than that and is severe enough for him to miss at least 10 days. The Yankees don't appear to be overly concerned about the issue, describing the strain as at worst Grade 1, but there's little sense in pushing things with their oft-injured star in a season in which 16 teams make the playoffs. Mike Tauchman and Clint Frazier should see an increase in playing time in his absence.

Remains on bench Judge (lower body) will remain on the bench for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Lower-body tightness was the stated reason for Judge's absence Wednesday, but the issue evidently hasn't gone away even following Thursday's scheduled off day. Mike Tauchman will be the right fielder in his absence.

Sitting with lower-body tightness Judge will be absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to lower-body tightness, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact The injury doesn't appear to be a major one, as Judge reportedly wanted to play, but the Yankees are being overly cautious and won't want to let tightness turn into a more serious injury for a player who has dealt with his fair share of absences over his five-year career. It's not clear where precisely Judge's ailment is, with manager Aaron Boone mentioning his hips, hamstrings and calves, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The Yankees have a scheduled off day Thursday, so two straight days of rest could be enough for Judge to return to action Friday against Boston.

Crushes ninth homer Judge went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Braves.

Impact The 28-year-old launched a 432-foot shot to center field during the fifth inning and was lifted for a pinch hitter for the following frame, but according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone just wanted to get him off his feet coming out of a four-game series on the turf in Tampa Bay. Judge owns a .290/.343/.758 slash line through 17 games and leads the majors with nine home runs.
