Aaron Judge reveals he tore a ligament in his toe, Yankees hopeful he returns in 2023 (yahoo.com)

"I don't think too many people in here have torn a ligament in their toe," Judge said. "If it was a quad, we’d have a better answer. If it's an oblique or hamstring, we have answers and a timeline for that. With how unique this injury is, and it being my back foot, which I push off of and run off of, it's a tough spot." 

Yankees manager Aaron Boone also refused to give a timeline but said he expects Judge to return this season. However, Boone wouldn't go so far as to assure it.

"That’s an absolute," Boone said about if he could guarantee Judge would play in 2023. "I can't say that about anyone."

This does not sound good at all with Judge and the Yankees uncertain if he'll come back this year.

It looks like year 1 of his $360m contract may be ending prematurely with Judge already 31 years old. How many prime years does he got left?
