Yankees Exclude Judge from Wild Card Roster, Activate Stanton and Grisham

The New York Yankees have officially excluded Aaron Judge from their AL Wild Card Series roster against the Boston Red Sox, citing concerns over his recent calf strain. Manager Aaron Boone opted for caution, leaving Judge off the 26-player list despite his attempts to prove fitness through live batting practice. The team activated Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham from the injured list, while Ryan Weathers was excluded to preserve his availability for a potential ALDS appearance. The Yankees will face Boston in a best-of-three series starting September 29, aiming to advance without their star slugger.

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.

Stanton Faces Likely 2026 End After New Calf Strain

Stanton Faces Likely 2026 End After New Calf Strain

Giancarlo Stanton sustained a new moderate-grade strain in his left calf during a running drill, likely ending his 2026 season. The recurring lower-body injuries have limited him to DH duties when healthy and come as the Yankees deal with Judge’s IL stint and a crowded roster at first base/DH with Cody Bellinger nearing a return and Luis Garcia Jr. added at the trade deadline. Stanton’s absence intensifies postseason implications for New York, while his 2027 guaranteed money remains on the books and Miami’s salary contributions to his deal could influence offseason roster decisions.

Stanton setback slows calf rehab, delaying Yankees' outfield plans

Stanton tweaked his calf while running the bases, extending a calf strain that has kept him out since late April and potentially delaying his return; Boone indicated imaging could be needed after this setback. With Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham sidelined, the Yankees are leaning on depth and young outfielders like Jasson Dominguez (who homered in his return) and Spencer Jones while Stanton heals.

Domínguez Promoted, Gil Demoted as Yankees Shake Up Roster

The Yankees promoted top prospect Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A to the majors for the series against the Rangers, filling Luis Gil’s roster spot after a rough start in Houston; Domínguez, who has a .306/.404/.471 line with 3 HR in 22 games this season, is expected to contribute as a DH/OF while Giancarlo Stanton’s calf injury clouds the lineup. Gil was sent down to Triple-A, and the rotation remains unsettled with Rodón’s status uncertain and spot starts possible by Yarbrough as the team navigates the rotation.

AL East Injury Watch: Stanton, Rodón, Gray, Melton

AL East Injury Watch: Stanton, Rodón, Gray, Melton

AL East injury notes: Stanton exited with right calf tightness, but Boone downplayed the issue and there’s no IL move yet. Rodón began a rehab assignment with the Yankees’ High-A affiliate, expected to need three rehab starts and could rejoin in mid‑May, possibly against the Brewers or Orioles. Gray traveled with the Red Sox and is slated for a bullpen session, suggesting a quick return from the 15‑day IL. Rays outfielder Jacob Melton has a Grade 2 left ankle sprain and is out 4–6 weeks; he’s a top prospect who could reach the majors later in the season.
