However, Judge suffered a setback, sustaining a "moderate grade" left calf strain while rehabilitating from a right calf injury, which now puts his season return in jeopardy. On the pitching side, Weathers was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left forearm flexor strain, though he remains optimistic about returning by season's end.
