It appears the Yankees slugger avoided the worst-case scenario with his hand injury.
"Feeling better after I got some good news," Judge told reporters in the clubhouse. "X-rays and CT scans came back negative, so we're in a good spot."in the hand in the third inning. He suited up for defensive duties in the outfield in the top of the fourth but was removed from the game before what would've been his third at-bat in the bottom half of the inning.
"It's a big relief," Judge said. "Being hit there before a couple years ago and breaking the wrist, you never know what's going to happen. Finding out that it's not fractured, not broken, is definitely a sigh of relief."Judge entered Tuesday's game with a .299/.425/.686 slash line with a league-best 22 homers and 64 RBIs. He still could miss time with the hand injury, but it's clear the news isn't as bad as it could have been.
