Yankees captain Aaron Judge will go on the injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, but a scan showed no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament of the two-time AL MVP.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge will have 10 days to two weeks of no throwing and will be the designated hitter at first when he returns. Giancarlo Stanton, the team’s primary DH, will start to work out in the outfield.

Judge was sent for an MRI Saturday morning and was out of the starting lineup for just the second time this season.

He leads the major leagues with a .342 batting average and 1.160 OPS. He has 37 home runs and 85 RBIs for a New York team that opened a seven-game AL East lead by late May but started Saturday a season-high 5 1/2 games back of first-place Toronto.

Judge likely won’t throw for 10 to 14 days.

Woad maintains two-shot lead in Scottish Open

Lottie Woad had four birdies in a six-hole stretch around the turn and posted a 5-under 67 to maintain her two-shot lead in the Women’s Scottish Open as she closes in on victory in her professional debut.

Woad has such control of her game at Dundonald Links that she went 33 consecutive holes without a bogey until dropping a shot on the 15th.

She finished at 17-under 199.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen of Denmark, who caught Woad early with an eagle on the par-5 third hole, fell behind after Woad’s birdie streak. She rallied with three birdies and two par saves for a 67.

She was two shots behind, along with Sei Young Kim (66), who made a long eagle putt on the 14th and got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 closing hole to get within two shots.

Harrington leads at Senior British Open

Padraig Harrington birdied the final hole for another 5-under 65 for a two-shot lead over Justin Leonard going into the final round of the Senior British Open on the Old Course at Sunningdale.

He seized the lead with birdies on the 13th and 14th hole, and a closing birdie added to his slight lead.

Harrington was at 13-under 197. He has been in the United Kingdom the last three weeks for links golf, starting with the Scottish Open.

He won the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado Springs a month ago.

Leonard, the only PGA Tour Champions player to make the cut last week in the British Open at Royal Portrush, also had a second straight 65.

Thomas Bjorn had a 67 and was three shots behind.
