The former NL MVP hasn’t appeared in a game in the outfield since making 33 defensive appearances for the Yankees late in the 2023 season.
Manager Aaron Boone said before the game that the club doesn’t know the extent of the injury, that the two-time AL Most Valuable Player was sent for imagine tests and that they are awaiting the results of the test. Team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad was expected to be at the ballpark to examine Judge.
Earlier this week, Judge struggled to throw, so the Yankees sent him for testing on his injured elbow and forearm. While the imaging didn't show any damage to his UCL, the strain in his arm was enough for the Yankees to take a cautionary move.
