Yankees manager Aaron Boone has the latest on Aaron Judge and his elbow injury as a pivotal series against the Rays continue.

The New York Yankees placed outfielder Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list over the weekend with a flexor strain in his right elbow. Though Judge will have to miss some time, he did avoid a more serious injury or any damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, and his elbow will not require surgery.

According to Max Goodman, who covers the Yankees, Boone essentially enabled an injured Judge to stay in Friday’s game. He knew Judge wasn’t going to be able to throw hard and he knew it would be a liability. What he didn’t take into account is if the injury would be detrimental to the season.
