Aaron Judge appears unlikely to be in the New York Yankees' roster for their American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to reporting by The Athletic. The star outfielder's absence would be a major blow to the Yankees as they open their playoff run, and fans are debating how the lineup will cope without him.

Why now: The Yankees' playoff series against the Rays is underway or imminent, and Judge's potential absence is major news for baseball fans.
