MLB fans troll Aaron Judge for sitting out series finale vs Dodgers: "Way too fragile for $360m"

Aaron Judge, the power-hitting star of the New York Yankees, did not play in the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. This absence was due to an injury he sustained in the previous game on Saturday night at the Dodger Stadium. In the eighth inning, while making an extraordinary running catch in right field, Judge banged his right big toe as he collided with the door of the visiting bullpen. The incident occurred with Max Muncy on first base and no outs. Judge managed to secure the catch just before running into the door, which swung open upon impact.Talkin' Yanks posted the news of Aaron Judge's absence on Twitter:Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksAaron Judge is out of the lineup tonight because his right foot is sore after running through the fence last night, per @ChrisKirschner165184Aaron Judge is out of the lineup tonight because his right foot is sore after running through the fence last night, per @ChrisKirschner https://t.co/xDhej9QVAn&quot;Aaron Judge is out of the lineup tonight because his right foot is sore after running through the fence last night, per @ChrisKirschner&quot; - the post read.MLB fans were not happy with Judge sitting out of the line-up due to what they believed was a minor injury.

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)With 19 home runs, 40 RBIs, and 51 hits this season, Judge has been a standout performer for the New York Yankees. He currently boasts an impressive slash line of .291/.404/.674 and leads the team in various offensive categories.In 2017, Aaron Judge received the prestigious title of American League (AL) Rookie of the Year, earning unanimous recognition for his outstanding performance.Additionally, he achieved a remarkable feat by finishing as the runner-up in the voting for the AL Most Valuable Player Award during the same year.Fast forward to 2022 and Judge made history by surpassing a long-standing record held by Roger Maris. With an impressive 62 home runs in a single season, he established a new AL record and was awarded the AL Most Valuable Player for his exceptional season.As the Yankees aim to rebound from a slow start to the season, Judge's contributions will be vital. Following a strong performance in May, they have narrowed the gap with the Tampa Bay Rays to just six games.If Judge can sustain his exceptional form both offensively and defensively, the Yankees have the potential to emerge as serious contenders in the ongoing season.
