NEW YORK — An ominous cloud of uncertainty hung over the Yankees all afternoon in the Bronx on Saturday. It felt like their season was suddenly hanging in the balance with the results of Aaron Judge’s elbow imaging still a secret.

Judge initially hurt his elbow in Toronto on Tuesday and had difficulty throwing in Friday's game against the Phillies.

New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge will be placed on the injured list after being diagnosed with a flexor strain, manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Saturday.
