What happened to Aaron Judge? Live injury updates for Yankees vs. Twins on 9/16/26

UPDATE: Aaron Judge left Wednesday’s game due to right lower leg tightness.


Down 2-0 in the top of the sixth inning, Aaron Judge was pulled from today’s game versus the Twins for pinch-hitter Heliot Ramos. Judge was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in his two plate appearances before his exit.

The timing of the removal is notable and worrying, as Judge was already given an off-day on Tuesday.

As you would expect, especially for a player who did not take a single rehab at-bat, Judge has struggled since returning from the IL, hitting .174 (4-for-23) with 13 strikeouts and just a single extra-base hit — his 18th home run of 2026 on Monday.
