Quick Summary

Aaron Judge has been placed on the Yankees’ injured list with a right calf strain, but this hasn’t affected the team's World Series betting odds significantly. As of Saturday, BetMGM Sportsbook keeps the Yankees at +800 for the World Series, while DraftKings slightly increased their odds to +850 from earlier in the week. Despite Judge’s absence, the Yankees remain strong contenders behind only the Dodgers and Brewers. The injury appears to have had minimal impact on betting markets due to the team's overall performance and pitching strength.

Story summary

Aaron Judge, the three-time AL MVP for the New York Yankees, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right calf strain. The injury occurred during Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins and was initially described as precautionary but later confirmed by an MRI. Judge went 4-for-23 with 13 strikeouts in seven games since returning from a broken rib that sidelined him for over three months.

The Yankees are hopeful Judge can return for the regular-season finale on September 27, though it's uncertain if he will be game-ready given his recent performance and the severity of the strain. The timing is critical as the team competes for a playoff spot, currently five games behind the Tampa Bay Rays with only nine regular-season games left.

Despite Judge’s optimism about playing in October, manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that the team must prioritize Judge's health over immediate needs during the final stretch of the season.
