Without their superstar hitter Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees‘ offensive prowess has diminished significantly. As evidenced by their two-run performance against the Texas Rangers on Friday, their scoring drought has begun to impact their chances of success.
A Prolonged Absence for Judge?
Despite some recent improvements, Judge delivered news suggesting that his absence due to a toe injury could be lengthier than initially expected. While the Yankees had initially reported a sprained ligament, Judge – the reigning MVP – confirmed a torn ligament, a more serious condition.
Aaron Boone, the team manager, suggested that Judge could commence light throwing and hitting sessions next week.
