Judge of the Yankees, who currently leads the league with three home runs ahead of Shohei Ohtani of the Angels, hurt his right big toe and went on the injured list and will be out of the lineup for a while.
Judge hit the Dodgers in Los Angeles on the 3rd when he caught a big hit near the light fence while running, and his body hit the fence.
The impact was such that the doorway of the bullpen that was in the place where he was hit opened and Judge played until the end of the game, but he has been absent since the 4th, and Yankees manager Boone announced in the postgame press conference on the 6th that Judge will be placed on the 10-day injured list because he hurt the ligament in his right big toe.
The injury list period can be retroactive to the 4th day after the last game played.
Boone revealed on Wednesday that Judge had undergone treatment to regenerate tissue by injecting platelets into the affected area, adding: "We'll see how it goes for a few weeks or days, and the most important thing is that the swelling goes away. I don't have any broken bones," he said, without revealing when he would return.
This is Judge's second time on the injured list since he was sidelined for 6 days with right hip tightness in April and May.
Judge hit a league-leading 4 home runs last season, breaking the American League record, and has hit a league-leading 5 home runs so far this season since he became captain of the Yankees, three ahead of Ohtani, who is tied for second in the league in home runs on the day.
