New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge has suggested his toe might never "feel normal" as he recovers from a torn ligament suffered earlier this month.
On June 4, Judge - the reigning American League MVP - tore a ligament in his toe after he slammed into an outfield wall while making a spectacular catch against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His right foot banged the concrete below the padding of the Dodger Stadium wall, leaving the 31-year-old injured and without a timetable to return to Major League Baseball action.
The Dodgers later announced plans to cover the concrete with padding to ensure no other players follow Judge’s lead in suffering an injury. Dodger Stadium is the third-oldest ballpark in the major leagues after opening in 1962, and it sent Judge to the Injured List for the second time this season after he missed 11 games due to a hip strain.
