The New York Yankees had a strong 2026 regular season where they won 93 games.
That said, they were without their best player (Aaron Judge) for most of the year.
The three-time MVP only appeared in 66 games.
MLB.com wrote (on November 6): “Had a “moderate grade” strain of his right soleus muscle and was not active for the postseason. Will also have a followup visit with Dr. Gregory Pearl to evaluate on the healing of his first right rib, which he fractured early in the season. Is expected to be ready for Spring Training.”

On Tuesday, Brian Cashman announced the latest update on Judge (h/t SNY Yankees).
Cashman: “Aaron Judge had his follow-up with Dr. Pearl, which I think at the last Zoom call I had that we had said was yet to have happened and has happened, and he’s currently in a good place. So no new added features to his circumstance outside of take the winter to continue to rest up, and he’ll be ready to go. But there’s no new procedures or anything there with Aaron Judge.”
