Yankees’ Aaron Judge provides a major update on injury
The entire city of New York held their breath on Tuesday night when All-Star slugger Aaron Judge was hit by a 94-mph fastball against the Baltimore Orioles, forcing him out of the Yankees’ eventual 4-2 victory. Yankees manager Aaron Boone declined to release any details on Judge’s X-rays or CT scan after the game, but Judge later spoke with media and provided an update himself.
The judge stated that both the X-rays and the CT scan came back negative, which he considered good news. He claimed it’s conceivable he won’t miss any time, adding, “I told Boone I want to be in there tomorrow, so we’ll see.”
NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 18: Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees reacts after being hit by a pitch from the Baltimore Orioles in the third inning at Yankee Stadium on June 18.
The entire city of New York may now breathe a sigh of relief, as the American League MVP candidate appears to have averted major harm. Just two days ago, Mookie Betts, the National League MVP favorite, was struck by a 98 mph fastball. Unfortunately for Betts, that pitch shattered his hand, and he will now miss six to eight weeks of play, according to manager Dave Roberts.
