Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge (toe) experienced "a little bit of a breakthrough" after his second platelet-rich plasma injection, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The first PRP injection Judge was given earlier this month didn't knock out all of the swelling in the outfielder's right big toe, but it would appear the second shot did the trick. While the slugger is not yet cleared for baseball activities, Boone believes Judge is "starting to turn a corner" in his recovery. Judge has been sidelined for a little more than two weeks.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Judge got another PRP injection in his sprained right toe Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Boone also revealed that there's a second ligament -- beyond the toe sprain -- that has been bothering the Yankees' slugger. Judge landed on the 10-day injured list June 7, retroactive to June 4, and there is currently no timetable for his return. Or even when he might resume baseball activities. This absence seems likely to push into July.

Judge (toe) said Sunday that while he's "feeling better every single day," he doesn't "think there's a need for a timeline" for his return, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated last week that a timetable for Judge's return likely would be available following the weekend after the inflammation in his injured toe had time to calm down. However, it doesn't sound like Judge or the team will be setting a target date anytime soon. "Things like this take time," Judge said. "It's just such a unique situation. If it was like a hamstring or something with the shoulder, there's a little better foundation to know when to come back. We'll be back."

Judge said Thursday that the swelling in his right big toe is improving, and he has decided to not wear a walking boot, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy managers who have been left with a massive hole on their roster due to Judge's placement on the IL will take any good news they can get about the slugger, and this qualifies as a positive development. There's still no clarity about his possible return date, however. Manager Aaron Boone suggested Wednesday that the Yankees could have an idea of Judge's timeline by the end of the week.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the team won't have a timetable for Judge (toe) until after this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge is on the injured list with a right big toe sprain and is "pretty sore" after receiving an injection in the toe, per Boone. The club presumably is waiting for the injection to take effect before they have a better idea as to how much time the star outfielder could miss.

New York placed Judge on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to June 4, with a right big toe sprain.

EDGE Analysis

As previously announced by manager Aaron Boone, Judge will head to the injured list with his toe sprain and miss at least a week of action. The outfielder will be eligible to return next Wednesday, June 14, should he prove ready. The Yankees have selected the contract of Billy McKinney from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Judge on the roster.

X-rays revealed Tuesday that there's no break or fracture of Judge's big right toe, but a sprain will cause him to be placed on the 10-day injured list before Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Bob Klapisch of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was out of the lineup again Tuesday against the White Sox after crashing into a wall Saturday during a victory over the Dodgers. The 2022 MVP will miss at least a week while recovering, and there's no timetable for his return. Judge has been outstanding again in 2023 with a 1.078 OPS and 19 homers over 49 games, and the Yankees along with fantasy GMs won't have his right-handed bat in their lineup until the middle of June at the earliest.

Judge (toe) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on the Talkin' Yanks podcast.

EDGE Analysis

That Judge won't be playing Tuesday doesn't come as a surprise. What remains in question is whether he will need a stint on the injured list for his right toe injury. Boone expects to know the results of the testing on Judge's toe later Tuesday. The star outfielder was injured when he crashed into the outfield wall during Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

Judge (toe) will undergo additional testing Monday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge sustained a toe injury when he crashed into the wall during Saturday's game against the Dodgers, and he sat out Sunday's series finale. He'll be able to rest during the team's scheduled day off Monday, but he isn't yet sure whether his toe is broken, which would likely require a trip for him to the injured list. A better idea of his status should come into focus once the results of his tests are known.

Judge isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to a right foot injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's contest when he crashed into the bullpen gate in right field while making a catch. Judge remained in the game and said after the contest he was feeling fine, but he's apparently dealing with some soreness in his foot. The Yankees have a team day off Monday, so Judge will have two consecutive days to recover ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the White Sox.
