The New York Yankees were looking at a potentially devastating injury for star Aaron Judge, but now it appears that the team may have avoided the worst.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed Saturday that star hitter Aaron Judge will be placed on IL after suffering a flexor strain, however, the good news for New York is that his UCL remains intact.

Yankees star Aaron Judge was out of the lineup against Philadelphia and was sent for imaging of his right elbow, a worrying development for a team that has been sliding down the standings for two months.
