Aaron Boone Breaks Silence With 2-Word Update on Aaron Judge

Aaron Boone Breaks Silence With 2-Word Update on Aaron Judge originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The New York Yankees have had an up-and-down season throughout the 2025 campaign thus far. At this point in the season with the MLB trade deadline just a few days away, the team holds a 56-47 record.

With that record, the Yankees are in second place in the race for the American League East division race. They are now 5.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays and have lost two straight games.

Unfortunately, some very concerning news has come up regarding superstar outfielder Aaron Judge.

Judge will be missing Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an elbow injury. There is still no telling just how serious the injury is, but there is obvious concern within the organization.

Aaron Boone, New York's manager, offered a highly disturbing two-word update about Judge.

“Obviously concerned,” Boone said.

He also revealed that Judge will be undergoing imaging to determine the extent of the injury.

Should Judge be forced to miss any significant amount of time due to the elbow injury, the Yankees would take a major hit. They no longer have a backup superstar like Juan Soto to take over the load that Judge carries.

Throughout the 2025 MLB season thus far, Judge has played in 103 games and has played at an insanely high level. He has hit 37 home runs to go along with 85 RBI's, while also slashing .342/.449/.711. Those numbers are irreplaceable for New York.

Expect to hear more concrete news about Judge in the near future. He is undergoing testing, but Boone's comments about being extremely concerned are not going to help Yankees fans find peace until the results are known.
