An important update on Aaron Judge of the Yankees’ hand injury against the Orioles
The New York Yankees are unable to get lucky. Juan Soto’s season was in jeopardy a few weeks ago after he experienced an injury scare. In the end, the injury proved to be not too serious. They now have an injury to their other star outfield player in New York. Aaron Judge was hit by a pitch during their game against the Baltimore Orioles, resulting in a hand injury that forced him to leave the game.
Judge left the game early in the fourth inning after feeling pain right away. An update on X’s absence was provided by the Yankees. They claim that Judge is going to a nearby hospital for some testing. The chief physician of New York will also be consulting with the celebrity.
“After being hit by a pitch in the left hand in the fourth inning of tonight’s game, Aaron Judge left the field. This evening, he will undergo imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian, where Dr. Christopher Ahmad, the head physician for the Yankees, is anticipated to examine him.
That does not bode well. A pitch to the hand almost always results in some kind of fracture. Mookie Betts, the star of the Los Angeles Dodgers, took a pitch a few days ago and broke his hand. He has six to eight weeks to complete his schedule. With this injury, we can probably anticipate the same timeline for Judge.
Fortunately, it appears that Judge might not miss any time. According to a later report by Aaron Boone, Judge’s tests yielded negative results.
“According to Aaron Judge, the results of his CT and X-rays were negative. stated that it’s likely he won’t miss any time.
The Yankees defeated the Orioles 4-2 in the end of the game. Before Judge got hurt, they were up 3-0, and they added another run in the fifth. In the ninth, a valiant Orioles comeback was dashed.

Trent Grisham will probably start in center field for the Yankees since Judge is expected to be sidelined for more than a month. Grisham’s playing time has decreased this season, but he can still contribute to a strong game now and then. When the celebrity missed time during that period, he also covered for Soto.
Regardless of Grisham’s performance, there will undoubtedly be a dip from Judge to the latter. Judge was a strong favorite to take home MVP awards this season prior to his injury. This season, he has the highest OPS+ (210), meaning that his OPS is double the league average! with 64 runs batted in, 57 walks, and 26 home runs—all league-highs. The Yankees’ star hitter has bounced back to MVP form after a difficult start to the season.
The Yankees had trouble at one point without Aaron Judge. The team had been largely dependent on its star player to do everything for them over the past few years. That has now altered. Even with that forearm injury, Soto remains one of the league’s finest hitters. Anthony Volpe makes a fantastic leadoff player. Alex Verdugo has also contributed for the team in the outfield. They have everything they need to weather this run without a judge.
Nevertheless, the Yankees will need to battle valiantly to maintain their lead. With a 51-24 record, they currently lead the AL East, but the Orioles are only two and a half games behind. For the team, winning the division is crucial because it will probably earn them a first-round bye. Can New York maintain its momentum in the absence of Judge?
