ATLANTA (AP) — New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge likely will avoid surgery on his ailing toe after the season, manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday.
Speaking before a game against the Atlanta Braves, Boone said Judge has been moving well since his return from injured list on July 28.
“I don't think surgery is in the plans,” the manager said. “We’re not at the offseason yet, but he's been doing pretty well. The fact that he's been able to play good amount of games in the field is a testament to that.”
After serving as a designated hitter in an 11-3 loss to the Braves on Monday, Judge was starting in right field for game two of the series.
