This is heartbreaking news for all of his fans, as there were hopes and anticipation building among them about their favorite star’s appearance at the prestigious All-Stars game. He made this decision probably because of his late recovery from the injury he sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in early June.
The Yankees captain’s decision promises stronger comeback
The reigning and defending American League MVP took one of the best catches in baseball history during the match against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Still, this catch cost him a sprain of the ligament in the big toe of his right leg. As a result, ‘All Rise’ has not appeared in the ballpark since June 3rd.
