Following his June 3 collision with the fence at Dodger Stadium, Judge tore a ligament in his right big toe, forcing him to miss 42 games. His absence was a crucial factor in the Yankees’ elimination from the postseason. The 6-foot-7, 282-pound slugger returned on July 28 and ended up hitting despite his extended absence.262 in 106 games with 37 home runs and 75 RBIs. However, Judge said before the upcoming season that he will need to manage the toe issue for the remainder of his career. In a Tuesday speech, he stated: “It will require constant upkeep for the remainder of my career.” When dealing with injuries such as those, it’s important to maintain control to prevent recurrence. He continued, amid laughter during a press conference, “I keep getting hurt in right field, so I think that’s why they moved me to center field.” “It’s about playing smarter, knowing the field, knowing the dimensions,” is my opinion. That always comes back to me because in that instance, I believed I had one more step, but I didn’t.There, I needed to be a little more astute. Thus, yes, I need to play intelligently, exactly like this year. However, I doubt that center field will have any cement wall bottoms. Reporters also questioned him about whether he thought the organization will make another move given the number of well-known pitchers still available as free agents. “I hope so; you know they’re always working,” the power hitting slugger replied.”You know, one of the best things about being here with the Yankees is that they always strive to get better.” They’re constantly attempting to relocate, whether it is through free agency or trade. I therefore have a strong feeling that there may be another relocation forthcoming, but we’ll see. The general manager of the Yankees, Brian Cashman, suggested this week that the team might not be done adding firepower before the current season, saying, “We’re not “pencils down” by any means.” We can be receptive to ideas that could help the club get better. The National League Cy Young winner has been strongly associated with New York.
