Yankees superstar right fielder Aaron Judge has a flexor strain and will spend time on the injured list, though he sustained no damage to his UCL, New York manager Aaron Boone said after Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Judge underwent imaging on his right elbow Saturday morning and was not in the lineup for the afternoon game against the visiting 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 strain occurred during that throw in Toronto.

He said the injury 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).
