Red Sox vs. Yankees AL Wild-Card Game 1 picks: Aaron Judge not on roster, but Cam Schlittler should be enough
Sports3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported46m ago
Injured Yankees captain Aaron Judge has been left off New York's roster for the American League Wild Card Series against the rival Boston Red Sox, which begins Tuesday night. Judge's absence stems from a calf injury that will prevent the slugger from playing in the opening postseason matchup.
While Judge was omitted, fellow injured slugger Giancarlo Stanton—who has not played in over five months—was included on the Yankees' playoff roster. Additionally, ace Cam Schlitter is scheduled to start Game 1 for New York as the team prepares to face Boston.
