As the New York Yankees lost the series finale to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, the arguably more concerning aspect was the injury concern for superstar Aaron Judge. With Judge exiting the Yankees' loss with leg tightness, the slugger would give insight into the issue and what happened during Wednesday's contest.

According to Greg Joyce of The New York Post, Judge would express that he “felt something while playing in the field” during the first inning and made the conscious effort to not risk playing through it. Judge didn't say where the tightness was in the lower leg, as it is still unknown if he will miss time due to the injury.

“Judge said he felt something while playing the field in the bottom of the first inning and eventually decided he shouldn’t risk playing through it,” Joyce wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Wouldn’t say where in the lower leg the tightness was. TBD on whether it will cost him time.”
