Aaron Judge receives another PRP injection in toe

But clearly it was from the impact of the wall, more than something that happened over time. … The trainers are working on range-of-motion with the toe and then all the other fancy stuff they have to reduce swelling. The good news is, he’s getting slightly better every day, not worse.”\n\nThe Yankees are reluctant to issue a concrete timetable for Judge’s return partly because of the events following his right wrist fracture in a July 26, 2018, game. At that time, the club estimated a three-week recovery for Judge, which proved overly optimistic; Judge didn’t return to the lineup until Sept. 14 of that season.\n\nAsked if Judge could return before the July 11 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, Boone said: “I think there’s a shot for that. That said, I don’t know. I mean, I think he could be back in a week. He could be back in four. I don’t know. We’ve got to get to a point where we’re starting to move the ball from a physical activity or baseball standpoint. Hopefully, this latest PRP is part of that, speeding this process up, but we’ll see.”\n\nIn recent comments about his toe injury, Judge said, “There’s a couple of things going on in there.” He added: “Once it starts feeling better, then you can start progressing to doing some walking around baseball stuff and moving around. I think we’re just kind of waiting on a lot of the inflammation and swelling to go down.””,”type”:”text”}],”contentType”:”news”,”subHeadline”:null,”summary”:”BOSTON — Aaron Judge received a second platelet-rich plasma injection in his right big toe during Thursday’s off-day, as the reigning American League Most Valuable Player’s return date remains uncertain.\nJudge’s latest course of treatment addressed continued discomfort in the toe, which he injured while making a terrific catch at”,”tagline({\”formatString\”:\”none\”})”:null,”tags”:[{“__typename”:”InternalTag”,”slug”:”storytype-article”,”title”:”Article”,”type”:”article”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”apple-news”,”title”:”Apple News”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”ContributorTag”,”slug”:”bryan-hoch-13006808″,”title”:”Bryan Hoch”,”type”:”contributor”},{“__typename”:”TeamTag”,”slug”:”teamid-147″,”title”:”New York Yankees”,”team”:{“__ref”:”Team:147″},”type”:”team”},{“__typename”:”GameTag”,”slug”:”gamepk-717742″,”title”:”2023/06/16…
