<p>NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star Aaron Judge was out of the lineup Saturday against Philadelphia and was sent for imaging of his right elbow, a worrying development for a team that has been sliding down the standings for two months.</p>
<p>"Obviously concerned," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "We'll wait and see as they read the imaging."</p>
<p>Boone wouldn't speculate whether the injury involved Judge's ulnar collateral ligament.</p>
<p>"Hopefully it's something that is manageable and we can get through," Boone said.</p>
<p>A two-time AL MVP, Judge leads the major leagues with a .342 batting average and 1.160 OPS. He has 37 home runs and 85 RBIs for a New York team that opened a seven-game AL East lead by late May but started Saturday a season-high 5 1/2 games back of first-place Toronto.</p>
<p>Judge winced at Toronto on Tuesday after catching Alejandro Kirk's seventh-inning fly in the right-field corner and throwing to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. as Dante Bichette tagged up and went from second to third. Judge was seen by a YES Network camera clenching his right hand in a fist.</p>
<p>"He had a throw in Toronto where it zinged him, it hurt," Boone said.</p>
<p>Judge was a designated hitter the following day in Wednesday's series finale, which Boone said then was planned. He was in right field for Friday's series-opening 12-5 loss to Philadelphia, then was out of the lineup for the second time this season.</p>
<p>"Felt like he was fine on the off day and then just last night was really dealing with it. He couldn't really throw well from the outfield," Boone said.</p>
<p>Boone said Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad was to read the imaging Saturday.</p>
