The Yankees picked up J.A. Happ to help with their playoff thrust on Thursday. A few hours later, they lost Aaron Judge with a broken right wrist and they will probably be without their right fielder for at least a month.

Surgery was not recommended, according to the Yankees, but the judge will not be able to swing a bat in a situation of play for "about" three weeks

"It's really a blow," said Aaron Hicks before the judge's diagnosis was revealed. "You look at a guy who hits 50 homers for our team, he's part of our lineup, if we do [lose him] we have to keep finding a way to win games, keep pushing."

Judge, who does not Has never been on the disabled list, will join Gary Sanchez on the shelf. Sanchez should be out at least a month after aggravating a groin injury.

We did not want to take more of risks with that. As you know, [Judge] is as hard as them [come]. We just wanted him to take care of it. "

Boone added that he did not think the judge was aggravating the injury with the second at the batting.
