New York plans to place Aaron Judge on the injured list with a contusion and a ligament sprain in his right big toe, manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday night’s loss to the Chicago White Sox. Judge does not have a fracture or break in his toe, according to team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad.
Judge was hurt while making a running catch and crashing into the outfield fence Saturday against the Dodgers and hadn’t played since.
He also spent time on the injured list earlier this season because of a right hamstring strain. When he’s been healthy, Judge has put up MVP-type numbers again, hitting .291/.404/.674 with 19 homers and 2.2 bWAR in 49 games.
