What happened: Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list and will miss the rest of the regular season. The setback comes 11 days after his return from an 84-game absence.

Why it matters: The move erases the final stretch Judge had left to regain game rhythm before the schedule turns to October. It also leaves his status beyond the regular season as the next major question after another September injury reversal.

What to watch: Watch for the next roster and medical update tied to Judge's recovery. That will determine whether this absence is limited to the regular season or extends further.
