Aaron Judge left off Yankees' Division Series roster vs. Rays while he recovers from calf strain

New York outfielder Aaron Judge has been left off the postseason roster for the upcoming series against Tampa Bay as he continues recovering from a right calf strain. Judge missed significant time earlier in the year due to a rib fracture and managed just sixty-six total appearances during the campaign.

Teammate Giancarlo Stanton, who has been sidelined since late April with dual calf injuries, managed to retain his spot on the twenty-six player roster for the opening round. Additionally, squad adjustments saw left-hander Ryan Weathers join the pitching staff while utility player Amed Rosario was removed.
