Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is unequivocally injured as the team enters the season’s final stretch and — hopefully — a one-game playoff to determine their ultimate fate.
He doesn’t want you to notice, though.
Thus far, his electric bat is doing a pretty great job shielding the pain.
Judge went 2-for-2 with a home run in Tuesday’s win, the Yankees’ seventh straight, and first since he knocked his pinky out of place sliding into second base after tearing Fenway Park to the ground with a third-chance, two-run double.
