What happened: Judge is set to go on the injured list after hurting his right calf during New York's extra-inning loss to Minnesota. The Yankees are still scheduled to open at Arizona, with the game at 0-0.

Why it matters: Judge had only recently returned after exiting a Yankees game with right lower leg tightness, so New York must reshuffle again around its lineup. The setback lands before the Arizona opener and shifts attention to the club's next roster move.

What to watch: Watch for New York's corresponding move and any pregame lineup changes before first pitch in Arizona. The game remains scheduled at 0-0.
