New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge told reporters Saturday he has a torn ligament in his right big toe and would not provide a timeline for his return.

"That's an absolute. I can't say that about anyone. But, yeah, I feel like he's going to be back," Boone said. "He can do a little bit more each and every day, but not to the point where he's running or doing full baseball stuff yet," Boone said."We've just got to continue to wait and get him there. He's obviously as tough as they come. He wants to be back out there. We'll just keep trying to get him healed and treated and hope for the best.

We’d figure out hitting. But if I can’t move, that’s the main hurdle we have to get over.
"The biggest thing is, the big toe is what you push off the back side [when] hitting. I’ve got to make sure [there is] the balance, and being able to transfer the weight is going to be the biggest key. Once we get over that hurdle, then we get into running and hitting."
