New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge leaves game against Minnesota Twins with right lower leg tightness

On Wednesday, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was removed from a game against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis due to right lower leg tightness. Judge, who had struck out in both at-bats, was replaced by Heliot Ramos in the sixth inning. The Yankees had given Judge a planned rest day on Tuesday. Judge had recently returned from a fractured rib and had been struggling offensively. The team had already clinched a postseason spot and was trailing the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Earlier that day, the Yankees reinstated pitcher Clarke Schmidt from the injured list.
