An ailing Aaron Judge shared an announcement on Sunday regarding his status for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle as the Yankees star continues to recover from a sprained right big toe.
Judge, who has not played since June 3, confirmed what many expected in a heartfelt message on Twitter. The five-time All-Star thanked his fans before confirming he will not participate in the star-studded Tuesday exhibition. He also acknowledged his ongoing rehab will be a priority over the All-Star break, though the latest reports on his health suggest the 31-year-old’s return timetable remains unknown.
“I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all the fans who voted me in as a starter for the 2023 All-Star game in Seattle. I feel truly blessed to be included in this group of outstanding players- it is an honor to be among those names. Unfortunately, I will not be making the trip to Seattle.
