No good deed goes unpunished. Seriously. Aaron Judge’s spectacular catch in Los Angeles on Saturday has ultimately resulted in the superstar heading back to the injured list, as Josh reported Tuesday night. On Wednesday afternoon, the Yankees officially placed Judge on the 10-day IL, retroactive to June 4th. A “right great toe sprain” is the official diagnosis as of now; they won’t have a timetable on him until this weekend, when they’ll see how it responded to a PRP injection.
Here’s hoping we see Judge, who was red-hot at the dish after returning from his first IL stint, back in pinstripes sooner rather than later.
