Yankees star Aaron Decide has not performed in a sport since June 3 due to what was explained as a sprained toe soon after kicking a slab of concrete from the correct subject wall when chasing down a fly ball at Dodger Stadium.
Though Choose is reportedly nearing a return to baseball things to do, the preliminary damage that was documented is actually far more serious than initially assumed. Decide instructed reporters on Saturday afternoon that he tore a ligament in his toe and is still dealing with some discomfort when he walks.
There is no formal timetable for Judge’s return to the lineup, and manager Aaron Boone was not likely to quantify how long his star outfielder would be out. Boone expects Choose to return this time, but would not promise it.
“That’s an absolute. I just can’t say that about anyone,” Boone said, per Bryan Hoch.
Decide also declined to give a timeline, when questioned about a possible August return by Hoch.
“I’m not providing you any timeline,” he mentioned. “There’s no want. I have just obtained to get improved and then I’ll be out there.”
Coming into Saturday’s game against the Rangers, the Yankees have misplaced two straight and 7 of their previous 10, slipping to 41–35 on the season and to third put in the AL East.
A return to the lineup for Choose would be welcomed, as the staff has struggled mightily offensively since he’s been out.
