Judge Vows to 'Go All In' After Yankees Fall to Rays in ALDS

Aaron Judge watched the New York Yankees lose to the Tampa Bay Rays in three games, ending their season without him on the field due to a calf strain. Judge expressed frustration over the team's 17th consecutive World Series drought and urged the front office to spend aggressively to fill roster holes.

Yankees Omit Judge from ALDS Roster Amid Calf Recovery

The New York Yankees have officially excluded three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge from their American League Division Series roster against the Tampa Bay Rays. Judge is recovering from a right calf strain suffered in mid-September and has not yet run the bases in preparation for the series. The decision aims to protect his long-term health and ensure his availability for the ALCS, as activating him now and then removing him later would render him ineligible for the next round. The Yankees swept the Red Sox without him, but face a rested Rays squad in a series where their offensive depth is tested.

Yankees Confirm Judge Absence for Wild Card, Activate Stanton

The New York Yankees will begin their 2026 AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox without two-time MVP Aaron Judge, who remains sidelined by a calf strain. While Judge was expected to return, the team confirmed his absence for the initial round, potentially delaying his return until the ALDS. In a significant counter-development, veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been activated from the 60-day injured list and will join the roster for the series. The Yankees will also include Trent Grisham, though his defensive struggles may limit his playing time. This roster decision highlights the team's reliance on a lefty-heavy lineup, with Stanton’s right-handed power offering a strategic advantage against Boston’s left-handed pitching staff.
