NEW YORK -- Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge is dealing with a right elbow "issue," according to manager Aaron Boone, forcing him to miss Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, just the second game he's missed all season.
Judge underwent testing on the elbow Saturday morning after experiencing discomfort throwing the baseball in Friday night's loss, the second time he experienced the issue this week. Boone said Judge was slated to see head team physician Christopher Ahmad, a leading Tommy John surgeon, at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
When asked Saturday if Judge could be dealing with an ulnar collateral ligament injury, which could require Tommy John surgery, Boone said he didn't know.
