Sunday Sports Update
Top left: Just when it looked like the New York Yankees' injury list could not get any longer, it did just that on Saturday. All-Star slugger Aaron Judge is seen here leaving Saturday's game against Kansas City after he injured his left oblique while swinging at a pitch in the bottom of the 6th inning, and he is expected to be placed on the injured list. Judge becomes the 13th Yankees player in this young MLB season to go on the shelf with an injury. Photo by Newsday
