New York Yankees all-star Aaron Judge is undergoing an MRI on his hip, according to Brendan Kuty and Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
The former MVP exited Thursday’s game against the Texas Rangers in the second inning with right hip discomfort, although manager Aaron Boone said after the game that no additional tests were planned at the time.
“Just a little grab in the hip area. After that headfirst dive the other night, just kind of whole right side has been a little locked up,” Judge said after the game on Thursday. “It wasn’t until the second-to-last swing of that at-bat I felt something grab, and they thought it would kind of best just to shut it down and see how we feel after a couple of days.”
Judge said when he woke up Thursday, he felt “a little bit more of what happened.” He said he could just never get loose after the culmination of that tumble and some swings before and during the series opener in Texas.
Boone said he noticed something was off when Judge batted for the second time, and wanted to get him out of the game. Judge said he felt OK after some swings in the batting cage, but there was no need to push it in that situation.
