The New York Yankees are eagerly awaiting the return of their star player, Aaron Judge, following a strained ligament injury in his right big toe. The team’s offensive dynamics have suffered in Judge’s absence, causing a visible decline in their performance.
The Impact of Judge’s Absence
Judge, before his injury, boasted a commendable .291 average with a .404 OBP, team-high 19 homers, 40 RBIs, and a 189 wRC+. The 31-year-old slugger was on track for another MVP award before being sidelined by his second injury stint of the season.
Sadly, the Yankees seem to struggle without their key player.
