NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Imagine what he might have done with a completely healthy shoulder.

The Yankees announced Tuesday that slugger Aaron Judge underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder a day earlier. During the procedure, Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles removed loose bodies and cleaned up cartilage in Judge’s shoulder.

Judge, who was named American League Rookie of the Year last week, is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in February, the Yankees said.
