Aaron Judge will miss at least a month with a fractured wrist:
The Yankees picked up J.A. Happ to help with their postseason push on Thursday. Hours later, they lost Aaron Judge with a chip fracture of the right wrist and they will likely be without their right fielder for at least a month.
Judge was drilled in the right wrist by a 93 mph fastball from Jakob Junis in the first inning of a 7-2 win over the Royals at The Stadium.
Surgery has not been recommended, according to the Yankees, but Judge won’t be able to swing a bat in a game situation for “approximately” three weeks.
Judge hits for average, does a great job getting on base, and slugs a few extra-base hits as well. The Yankees have enough offense to survive without him, it just gives them a little less leeway for others to to go into slumps. Wrist injuries seem to take a long recovery time. Even after healing, it takes time for a player to get back into the swing.
The Yankees fans paid Judge a tribute during the game.
