Aaron Judge's Toe Injury "A Resolved Issue"
9 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) injury is "a resolved issue," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We think it's behind him." Judge never required surgery for a torn ligament in his right big toe that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 4. It was an injury that sidelined the 31-year-old slugger for two months, but he's healthy now and should have a normal spring training leading into the start of the 2024 campaign. The Yankees acquired left-handed-hitting corner outfielders Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo the last two nights, so Judge appears ticketed for the starting center field job next year. Judge, who stands at 6-foot-7, 282 pounds, has already had trouble staying on the field in his big-league career, so a move to a more demanding position could be bad news for his durability.
