Earlier today the Yankees placed top outfield prospect Aaron Judge on the Triple-A disabled list with a “mild PCL sprain and a bone bruise of the left knee,” the team announced. They say he will be out an “undetermined” length of time. Sigh.
Judge left Friday’s game after running out a ground ball, though the Yankees say he initially hurt himself diving for a ball in right field earlier in the game. Shane Hennigan has photos of the play. The combination of the dive and running out the grounder led to the injury.
I’m no doctor, but a sprained knee ligament — even a mild sprain — leads me to believe Judge will return in weeks, not days.
