Yankees captain Aaron Judge to go on injured list with flexor strain
Briefly

Aaron Judge, a leading MLB player, has been diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow after an MRI. Fortunately, there is no acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament. He has received a platelet-rich plasma injection and will be placed on the injured list. Judge's batting average is currently .342, leading the league, and his team is experiencing a significant drop in standings. Manager Aaron Boone expressed relief at the diagnosis and acknowledged Judge's tough condition affecting his throwing.
"You never want to go in the tube. It's never fun. You don't know what's going to show up. That's why I kind of pushed off a lot of that imaging..."
"All in all, we got good news today. I think all of us kind of feared the worst."
"I couldn't throw past 60 feet. We're going up against a Phillies team, they can hit the ball over the park. I just didn't want to put our pitchers in jeopardy..."
"With that strain, then if you go out there and play with it you put the UCL in jeopardy, so we got to get that healed up."
