Aaron Judge’s catch through the right-field wall during the Yankees’ three-game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles last weekend stands out among the many events that took place.

Dodgers Fix The Boundary That Caused Yankees’ Star Aaron Judge Toe Injury

In the eighth inning of New York’s 6-3 victory on Saturday, J.D. Martinez crushed a pitch for a certain extra-base hit off of Michael King. The Dodgers could have had a huge inning coming, but the defending AL MVP raced down the liner and snagged the ball before smashing through the chain link fence and into the bullpen.

There is no fracture, according to manager Aaron Boone, and there is no set date for Judge’s return to the lineup. Judge was given a platelet rich plasma injection and has an official diagnosis of ligament sprain and contusion. The AL MVP for 2022 is spending his second season on the IL at this time.

According to club president Stan Kasten, the Dodgers intend to add cushioning to the concrete area where Judge jammed his right big toe and fortify the chain-link fence in right field after Judge collided with it on Saturday.

Judge, 31, was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday night due to a toe bruise and toe ligament strain. The Yankees have lost him to injury twice already this year. Additionally sidelined from April 28 to May 8 due to an injured right hip, the 6-foot-7, 282-pound slugger.

However, he hasn’t played since.

Aaron Boone, the manager of the Yankees, questioned why the old cement was still there in Dodger Stadium after the game.

“He didn’t go through the door, which is what I thought when I was watching the game,” Dodgers team president Stan Kasten told The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. “Then I got out there and realized the door doesn’t open in that direction.

“He actually broke through where some of the panels were joined, the barrier between the two connecting panels. Which is unbelievable. But we’re going to strengthen that and add a strip of padding on the bottom as well.”
