The New York Yankees have confirmed that star slugger Aaron Judge will be out for at least another week due to a mild right hip strain.
The reigning American League MVP has been out since leaving their game against the Texas Rangers last Thursday (April 27). Over the weekend, in Judge's absence, the Yankees lost three straight matches, followed by another defeat against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday.
While the injury issue is not a long-term problem, it only adds to a wretched start to the team's season. The Yankees are bottom of the AL East with a .500 record after losing seven out of their last ten games and are already eight-and-a-half games back of the Tampa Bay Rays.
