New York Yankees fans have been treated to some truly horrific baseball in recent weeks. Struggles have mounted in both the hitting and pitching departments at times, with only a few bright spots. Furthermore, the wait for Aaron Judge to return from injury has been agonizing. Most recently, the team provided a fresh update that has left fans hopeless. 

Judge tore a ligament in his right toe during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in early June. Since then, there have been several updates on his health but no signs of an imminent return. This latest injury update seems to be more of the same as the Yankees’ results match an unwanted record.

Still, No Timeline for Aaron Judge to Return

In recent weeks, Bronx Bombers skipper Aaron Boone has provided fans with several updates on Aaron Judge. But each time, he would refuse to offer a tentative return date. This was despite poor results and fans wanting some sort of assurance of Judge’s health. Most recently, Boone shared more of that same news, saying that the Yankees captain is nearing a return. Talkin’ Yanks shared the latest update via Twitter as fans expressed their displeasure. 

In a Tweet, Talkin’ Yanks said, “Aaron Boone doesn’t have a return date for Aaron Judge yet but he said multiple times that ‘he’s getting close.’ We mentioned next Tuesday, July 25th against the Mets and he didn’t rule it out”. This is a somewhat unclear answer once again, but July 25th might be his return date. It is still not confirmed.
