Yankees fans: breathe. Dodgers fans: you too. It’s time for an Injury Territory emergency pod.

Aaron Judge has a leg issue. Blake Snell has a groin issue. And within minutes, two enormous fan bases began doing what enormous fan bases do best: imagining the worst possible outcome. Will Carroll and Edward Egros are here with an emergency edition of Injury Territory to separate what we actually know from everything people are afraid might happen.

First, Will breaks down the latest on Aaron Judge’s lower-leg injury, what the available information tells us, what it doesn’t tell us, and why Yankees fans shouldn’t automatically turn a new physical issue into a postseason catastrophe. With Judge, every limp becomes breaking news. The medical details and the way the Yankees manage him matter considerably more than the panic surrounding them.

Then it’s Blake Snell and his groin injury. With October approaching, anything involving a key Dodgers starter immediately raises questions about the playoff rotation. Will and Edward look at the mechanism, likely concerns, return-to-play considerations and why the words “groin injury” alone don't tell us nearly enough to start rewriting the Dodgers’ postseason plans.

This is exactly why Injury Territory exists. Injuries create uncertainty, uncertainty creates speculation, and speculation has a remarkable ability to become “news” before the actual medical information catches up. Sometimes the most useful injury analysis is simply recognizing when the facts aren’t as scary as the reaction.

No panic. No diagnosing from a five-second video clip. No pretending every injury is either “nothing” or season-ending. Just injury intelligence from Will Carroll and Edward Egros when everyone else is losing their minds.
