Yankees star Aaron Judge has not played in a game since June 3 due to what was described as a sprained toe after kicking a slab of concrete against the right field wall while chasing down a fly ball at Dodger Stadium.
While Judge is reportedly nearing a return to baseball activities, the initial injury that was reported is actually more serious than originally thought. Judge told reporters on Saturday afternoon that he tore a ligament in his toe and is still dealing with some pain when he walks.
There is no official timetable for Judge’s return to the lineup, and manager Aaron Boone wasn’t going to quantify how long his star outfielder would be out. Boone expects Judge to return this season, but wouldn’t guarantee it.
