The New York Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for the near future as they chase the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays.

The New York Yankees have placed star outfielder Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, an injury he suffered during a 9-4 home loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in Friday’s series opener. Though significant, the injury is less devastating than initially feared.

In the first season of interleague play in 1997, a 94-loss edition of the Philadelphia Phillies pulled off a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees, the then-reigning World Series champions.
