Judge is having another MVP-caliber season, leading the majors in batting average (.342), recording the third-most home runs (37) and the third-most RBI (85).

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has taken over as the American League MVP favorite with his closest rival, Aaron Judge, heading to the injured list.

Judge admitted his injury had heavily impacted his throwing ability. “I couldn’t throw past 60 feet,” Judge told Boone after Friday's game.
