Aaron Judge is set to miss the entire All-Star Game event in Seattle as Yankees manager Aaron Boone says he’ll ‘continue treatment’ in New York
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge is not expected to be at any of the All-Star events in Seattle next week.
Judge had already been ruled out of MLB’s All-Star Game but is now set to miss the entire schedule as he’s still recovering from tearing a ligament in his big right toe.
‘I think he’s staying here to continue treatment and baseball stuff,’ Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees lost 3-0 to the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
Boone told reporters a day earlier that Judge has been jogging on an anti-gravity treadmill, as well as taking some hard toss batting practice.
The star outfielder has also been playing catch on the field.

The 31-year-old could still require surgery on the torn ligament in his big right toe that has kept him on the sidelines for the past month.
Judge admitted he isn’t sure how long he will be living with the after-effects of the injury.

‘It doesn’t feel great,’ he said. ‘I don’t think it will ever feel normal.
‘I can move around pretty well, but any injury (can bother you for) a year or two or three years. You never know what it’s gonna feel like.’
Judge made reference to the dislocated finger he suffered in 2021 that troubled him for a while, adding ahead of the Yankees game with the Orioles: ‘I’ve got to be able to run… if I can run, then I can play. But me running at 10 per cent isn’t helping anybody.’
Judge suffered the injury against the Dodgers on June 3, crashing through a door as he made an incredible catch in right field.
