Aaron Judge has imaging on elbow, out vs. Phillies
Yankees superstar right fielder Aaron Judge underwent imaging on his right elbow Saturday morning and is not in the lineup for the afternoon game against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
'He had a throw in Toronto where it zinged him, it hurt,' manager Aaron Boone told reporters Saturday, referencing Tuesday's 5-4 victory in Toronto when the Yankees captain winced in apparent pain after making a routine throw.
'Then, you know, felt good to go on the off day, and then last night, though, just was struggling to throw a little bit. So want to get this checked out.'
Boone said it was 'tough to say' whether the current elbow issue occurred during that throw in Toronto.
He said the elbow issue appears to be affecting Judge's throwing more than his hitting.
'It was more about throwing last night, like he couldn't really get the ball in very well,' Boone said. 'So felt like want to have him down and get the imaging and get our hands around just what exactly we're dealing with.'
Judge, 33, belted his 37th home run of the season and 352nd of his career on Wednesday to pass Alex Rodriguez for sixth place in Yankees history. Yogi Berra is fifth with 358.
The two-time American League MVP currently paces the majors in batting average (.342), on-base percentage (.449) and slugging percentage (.756). He leads the AL in runs (90) and RBIs (85).

Andrey Rublev, Frances Tiafoe earn third-round wins in Toronto
(Photo credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images) Sixth-seeded Andrey Rublev of Russia shrugged off a first-set loss to defeat No. 28 Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in third-round action on Friday at the National Bank Open in Toronto. Rublev had six aces among 29 winners in the victory. 'The main thing today, I was able to be mentally really good,' Rublev told the Tennis Channel. 'After the first set, I didn't (go) down. I was, like, OK, let's keep fighting, keep being positive ... then I was able to create more things, like to go to the net.' Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina pulled off an upset as the No. 20 seed knocked out 12th-seeded Jakub Mensik of Czechia 6-2, 6-4. The Spaniard converted all four of his break points as he won 49.1 percent of his returns (28 of 57) compared to Mensik's 29.2 percent (14 of 48). His reward is a fourth-round match versus Rublev. Czechia's Jiri Lehecka earned the day's other upset as the No. 19 seed rallied to take down No. 15 Arthur Fils of France by a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 count. Lehecka stacked up 12 aces to Fils' three on the hard court. No. 7 Frances Tiafoe beat Australia's Aleksandar Vukic 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to advance to a fourth-round match with another Aussie, ninth-seeded Alex de Minaur, on Sunday. No. 13 Flavio Cobolli of Italy maxed out his serve at 135 mph during his 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Hungary's Fabian Maroszan.

Anastasija Sevastova ousts two-time defending champ Jessica Pegula in Montreal
(Photo credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images) Anastasija Sevastova saved nine of 13 break points on Friday while recording a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal on Friday. Sevastova of Latvia had a first-serve percentage of 71 percent while rallying to upend the third-seeded Pegula. Sevastova, 35, had a hard time explaining what happened. 'Somehow, I was down 2-0 in the second set and started to play better and better,' Sevastova said. 'Third set, I played really good. Just trying to stay on the court as long as possible.' Pegula appeared to be sailing when she won eight of the first 11 games. But Sevastova won the next four games to jumpstart her comeback. After winning the second set, Sevastova lost the opening game of the third set before steamrolling Pegula the rest of the way. Pegula was perplexed over her collapse. 'It was a strange match for me,' Pegula said. 'I felt like I was in complete control, and then I played a couple of terrible games.' Sevastova was ranked as high as No. 11 in 2018 before injuries hampered her career. She was ranked No. 396 entering Friday's match. In 2018, Sevastova advanced to the U.S. Open semifinals before losing to eventual runner-up Serena Williams. She will next face the winner of that 2018 U.S. Open -- Naomi Osaka. Osaka, a former No. 1 player, moved into the fourth round with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over No. 22 Jalena Ostapenko of Latvia. Osaka of Japan had five aces and converted 6 of 9 break-point opportunities. Ostapenko trailed 3-1 in the second set when she attempted to rally. She moved within one game before Osaka closed it out. No. 6 Madison Keys struggled early before recovering for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Catherine McNally. No. 16 seed Clara Tauson of Switzerland notched a 6-3, 6-0 triumph over Yuliia Starodubtseva. No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek of Poland plays Germany's Eva Lys on Friday night.
