Judge was placed on the injured list retroactive to April 28 due to his hip. The Yankees slugger was lifted from the team’s game on Thursday, April 27 because of discomfort.
The 31-year-old was batting .261 with six home runs and an .863 OPS in 26 games this season. Entering Saturday, the Yankees had gone 2-5 and scored the fewest runs in the league without Judge.

Judge is coming off a 62-home run season that gave him his first career AL MVP award. The Yankees entered Saturday 17-16 and could really use their MVP back especially in the highly-competitive AL East.
