Judge attempted to play through the pain, but pulled himself from a game on Thursday night against the Texas Rangers after the hip injury flared up.<\/p>\n

“After that headfirst dive the other night, just kind of the whole right side has been a little locked up,” Judge told reporters<\/a>. “It wasn’t until the second-to-last swing of that at-bat I felt something grab, and they thought it would be kind of best just to shut it down and see how we feel after a couple of days.”<\/p>\n

Judge underwent an MRI on Friday, but the Yankees were vague about the severity of the injury. For the remainder of this weekend’s series against the Rangers, Judge will sit out the next two games.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t seem too serious,”<\/strong> manager Aaron Boone said in post-game interview with YES on Friday. “It could be day-to-day, but it could be a short (IL) stint.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If a few days of rest doesn’t help, the Yankees will send Judge to the IL.<\/p>\n

The Yankees entered Spring Training with a healthy team, but they’ve been unlucky since mid-March. Judge joins a long list of other Yankees on the injury list, including designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>, center fielder Harrison Bader, left-handed starting pitcher Carlos Rodon<\/a>, right-handed starter Luis Severino, and righty pitcher Frankie Montas.<\/p>\n
