MLB News: Yankees' Aaron Judge Going on Injured List with Elbow Injury
Briefly

Aaron Judge is on the injured list due to a flexor strain in his elbow. His UCL is intact, which is a positive sign, as flexor injuries can sometimes lead to UCL problems but may heal with rest. Judge's absence follows difficulties he had when throwing from the outfield. The duration of his time on the injured list will depend on the severity of the strain. While this is a considerable loss for the Yankees, the intact UCL presents a less severe injury scenario.
Judge, a two-time MVP, has been placed on the injured list due to a flexor strain in his elbow but his UCL remains intact.
The flexor mass, a bundle of muscles connecting to the elbow, serves to relieve stress on the UCL and can heal with rest.
Judge's time on the injured list will be determined by the severity of his flexor strain and he experienced difficulties throwing during a recent game.
This injury represents a significant setback for the Yankees, though the condition of Judge's UCL indicates a less severe situation than could be possible.
