Royals starter Jakob Junis received some unexpected messages on his social media accounts after unintentionally hitting Yankees slugger Aaron Judge with a pitch on Thursday night, according to The Athletic.
Judge was hit in the right wrist by Junis's 93 mph four-seam fastball in the first inning. The outfielder came to the plate again in the third inning, reaching on an infield single. Judge was later removed in the fourth inning and taken to the hospital for an MRI.
Diagnosed with a chip fracture in his ulnar styloid bone, Judge will miss at least three weeks of playing time.
