The New York Yankees<\/a> are 37-26, only 1.0 game back of the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> for first place in the American League East. This is a good ballclub, and one that should be able to make a run this year.<\/p>\n

However, for the next month or so, there is going to be a very serious problem that the Yankees are going to have to deal with: Aaron Judge<\/a>‘s placement on the injured list.<\/p>\n

While this is an obvious issue, being without their MVP candidate, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale<\/a> highlighted a .419 percentage issue for the Yankees amid Judge’s extended absence.<\/p>\n

Yankees to face .419 Aaron Judge problem amid injury<\/p>\n

“The Yankees entered Saturday with a .419 winning percentage when Judge doesn’t start since 2022, averaging 3.8 runs a game,” Nightengale writes. “They have a .592 winning percentage, averaging five runs a game, when he starts.”<\/p>\n

This is a massive difference between when Judge is in the lineup and when he’s not. It’s obvious that the Yankees would be worse without their best player, but this difference is a bit more worrisome for the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Judge being out of the lineup is going to sting, as Ben Rice<\/a> and Cody Bellinger<\/a> are going to have to pick up the slack in Judge’s absence.<\/p>\n

Over the last four seasons, whenever Judge is out of the lineup, things don’t go well for the Yankees. That .419 winning percentage is a worse figure than the New York Mets<\/a>‘ .438 winning percentage during the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Only the San Francisco Giants<\/a> and Colorado Rockies<\/a>, 26-39 and 24-41, respectively, have a worse winning percentage this season than the Yankees have had over the last four years when Judge misses time.<\/p>\n

It’s clear the Yankees are going to go through some issues without Judge, but this .419 winning percentage without Judge is going to be a serious problem if it doesn’t improve during his four-to-six week absence this season.<\/p>\n
