New York Yankees leave star slugger out of lineup, injury concern rising

The New York Yankees put up nine runs against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday evening, despite a tough effort by their opponent. The Yankees lead 8-0 at one point, but the Braves put six runs on the board, despite losing 9-6.

In the fifth inning of the contest, star slugger Aaron Judge hit a solo home run. As he rounded second base, he grimaced a bit, indicating slight pain.

Immediately after the inning, Judge was pulled from the game and spent some time watching from the dugout. However, they eventually moved him to the clubhouse, where he likely received treatment.
