Yankees' Aaron Judge Out vs. Dodgers with Toe Injury; Aaron Boone Unsure About IL

Aaron Judge is out of the New York Yankees lineup Sunday night after suffering a toe injury.

Judge is receiving treatment after banging his toe into the wall while making a catch during the Yankees' 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reported.

Manager Aaron Boone said he does not yet know if Judge will end up on the injured list.

Judge hit the wall of Dodger Stadium Saturday while sprinting after a deep fly ball off the bat of Los Angeles' J.D. Martinez. Judge reached up, snagged the ball, and then collided hard with a chain link gate closing off the bullpen, which bounced open upon impact.

The Yankees captain covered 79 feet in 4.7 seconds to make the catch, per Statcast (h/t Hoch.)

"I'm feeling good," Judge told reporters after the game. "The fence got most of it. Thankfully, it was that part of the wall where it had some give, so I think that saved me quite a bit. If it was a solid wall, it might be a different story, but (I) made the play."

The news that Judge was out of the lineup Sunday night came alongside several other injury updates. The day after outfielder Greg Allen and reliever Ryan Weber landed on the injured list, Boone said that starting pitcher Nestor Cortes is "probably" headed to the IL as well, per The Athletic's Chris Kirschner.

New York can only hope Judge's absence is as temporary as possible. When watching the Yankees' star outfielder crash into the wall last night, Boone's first thought was, "Oh no," Kirschner reported.

That reaction was for good reason.

Through 49 games this season Judge is making his case for a repeat as AL MVP. He is slashing .291/.404/.674 and trails only the New York Mets' Pete Alonso for the league lead with 19 home runs, including one against the Dodgers Saturday.
