BREAKING: Aaron Judge Leaves New York Yankees Game vs. Texas Rangers

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge left Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers with an unknown injury.

The New York Yankees are holding their breath on Thursday night as star outfielder Aaron Judge has left the game early.

The Yankees are on the road at the Texas Rangers and Judge left the game in the fourth inning.

At this time, there's no word on the reason for his exit.

Obviously, any loss of Judge would be catastrophic to the Yankees, who are already out Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson. Judge is one of the top offensive players in baseball and is the lead catalyst for the Yanks offensive attack. He hit an American League record 62 home runs a season ago while bringing in 131.

This year, he's out to another strong start. He's hitting .261 with six home runs and 14 RBI. He's also two stolen bases. Judge is a four-time all-star (2017-2018, 2021-2022), won MVP in 2022, Rookie of the Year in 2017 and has received MVP votes in four separate seasons. He's also a three-time winner of the silver slugger award.
