Aaron Judge jammed his left thumb sliding into second base in the first inning of Friday’s 4-1 win over the Mets, but the Yankees don’t believe it’s serious.
“It caught our attention,” Aaron Boone said of Judge’s attempt to break up a double play. “You see him reacting and you hold your breath, but he checked out all right. He went up in the [batting] cage and hit and was OK, said he was good to go. Hopefully we dodged a bullet there.”
Judge remained in the game and went 0-for-2, but drove in the Yankees’ first run with a sacrifice fly that tied the game in the sixth against Jacob deGrom.
