As the boos rained down on Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis in the first inning of Thursday night’s 7-2 loss at Yankee Stadium, Yankees designated hitter Aaron Judge received a visit from the team trainer at first base.
At the time, the visit seemed innocuous. Yankees trainer Steve Donohue went through a few hand exercises with Judge at the bag but deemed him fine to stay in the game.
Judge was not fine. The Yankees announced after the game that Judge sustained a chip fracture of the right wrist. Judge will not undergo surgery, but he will be sidelined for about three weeks.
