What happened: MLB Network analyst Mark DeRosa expressed concern regarding New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge's injury status on Monday. Discussing the team's ability to overcome the loss, DeRosa noted that while he is worried, the roster is built around its starting pitching.

Why it matters: Judge exited a recent game with right lower leg tightness, raising questions about his availability for the postseason. New York will lean heavily on its rotation to carry the load down the stretch.

By the numbers: New York dropped an 8-4 final to the Arizona Diamondbacks, evening the series at 1-1.

What to watch: The Yankees will monitor their captain's leg tightness as the regular season concludes.
