Aaron Judge out of Yankees lineup again, remains in injury limbo
Aaron Judge will miss at least one more game as the Yankees’ fingers remain crossed.
Judge will be absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s game in The Bronx against the White Sox, manager Aaron Boone told the “Talkin’ Yanks” podcast.
The star outfielder will miss a second straight game after injuring his right big toe against the Dodgers on Saturday.
Judge had been expected to go through tests Monday that would determine whether a stint on the injured list is required.
There was no diagnosis as of early Tuesday afternoon.
Judge suffered the injury making a remarkable catch at Dodger Stadium, banging the toe against the concrete at the base of a right-field fence that he ran through.
On Sunday, Judge did not rule out the possibility his toe was broken or the possibility he could be sidelined.

“If I’m on [the injured list], I’m on it. But I’m trying not to be. Who knows?” Judge said in Los Angeles. “I’ve got no answer yet.”
With Harrison Bader (hamstring strain) also on the mend, the Yankees’ starting outfield Sunday was left fielder Willie Calhoun, center fielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa and right fielder Jake Bauers.
