Aaron Judge was out of the New York Yankees lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies and sent for imaging of his right elbow, a worrying development for a team that has been sliding down the standings for two months.
The Judge injury news comes a day after New York traded for infielder Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies.
"Obviously concerned," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "We'll wait and see as they read the imaging."
Boone would not speculate whether the injury involved Judge's ulnar collateral ligament.
"Hopefully it's something that is manageable and we can get through," Boone said.
