Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) takes a break for a while.
The Yankees officially announced that they would put Judge, who suffers from right hip pain, on the injured list ahead of a home game against the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York on the 2nd (Korean time).
Judge suffered right hip pain during an away game against the Minnesota Twins held at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on the 27th of last month and was replaced 4 times. On the 29th, he was excluded from the starting lineup for the away game against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, USA.
Judge hit 62 home runs last year, setting a new American League home run record. He surpassed Roger Maris’ 61 home runs. In addition, the meaning of the new record was further highlighted as the ‘clean home run king’, which was different from Barry Bonds, Mark Maguire, and Sammy Sosa, who were tagged with banned drugs.
Judge, who posted a batting average of .311, 62 homers, 131 RBIs, an on-base percentage of .425, a slugging percentage of .686, and an OPS of 1.111 last year, received 28 first-place votes and two second-place votes out of a total of 30 votes in the American League MVP voting, bringing his total to 410 points. He beat Shohei Ohtani (total score: 280 points) and won the MVP award. 안전놀이터
Judge is batting .261 this season (24 hits in 92 at-bats) with 6 homers, 14 RBIs, 18 runs and 2 steals.
