Aaron Judge, a three-time AL MVP, is poised to miss the majority, if not the entirety, of the remainder of the regular season, following the New York Yankees' announcement on Friday that they are consigning him to the 10-day injured list owing to a right calf strain.

New York intimated that the roster move would be effectuated on Saturday.

The placement could be retroactively dated to Thursday, thereby rendering it plausible that Judge might rejoin the lineup for New York’s regular-season finale on Sept. 27.

Judge was withdrawn in favor of a pinch hitter in the sixth inning Wednesday during a game against the Minnesota Twins, on account of discomfort in his leg.

At the time, he characterized the move as precautionary.

Since his return last week from a broken rib that had kept him sidelined for upward of three months, Judge has gone a mere 4 for 26 across seven games, striking out 13 times and mustering but a single extra-base hit.
