New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge suffered an absurd injury. During the inning shift, he was hit in the face by a ball thrown casually by a teammate.

MLB.COM, the official website of the Major League Baseball, said on the 6th (Korea time) 'Everything is going out of order amid the Yankees' sluggishness. Even between innings, he pointed out the Yankees, who were in a total crisis.

Judge started as the third batter and right fielder in the 2025 Major League game against the New York Mets at City Field in New York.




Judge was coming into the dugout after finishing defense in the bottom of the fourth inning and had a ridiculous situation. Shortstop Anthony Volpi's ball in the direction of first base hit Judge's right eye. Judge, who was going around without boundaries in the direction of the third base dugout, was hit by the ball while passing between second and first bases.

The Yankees lost 6-12 on the day, losing six consecutive games.

MLB.COM pointed out that the Yankees are not working properly from this minor point of view.




MLB.COM reported that Judge played most of the game with a small white bandage under his right eye. The ball thrown by Volpi produced unintended results. Judge, the team's most valuable player, explained that he never expected the ball.

Then 'Fortunately for the Yankees, Judge avoided a major injury. However, the accident has become a painful metaphor for the Yankees, which symbolizes the team's situation amid continuous sluggishness.

During the six-game losing streak, Yankees starters were sluggish with an 8.36 ERA. The bullpen allowed 22 earned runs in 17 innings.

"Six consecutive losses are never a joy," said Carlos Rodon of the Yankees. The season always puts a mental burden on the players. Everyone, including me, is. But the season is like a marathon. We have to keep going."

Judge also "Even a good team has a few difficulties. We must not lose sight of the final goal. We need to keep moving forward and solve the problem," he stressed.

The Yankees are second in the American League East with 48 wins and 41 losses. The No. 1 Toronto Blue Jays won seven consecutive games, beating the Yankees by three games.
