Back in the day the other hitters on the Yankees roster were able to pick up the slack whenever Mickey Mantle was out with an injury.

Last year DJ's injured toe lingered until the end of the season and kept him out of the payoffs.

Aaron Judge gets another PRP injection for toe, timetable for return still unclear

Aaron Judge spent Thursday’s off day getting another platelet-rich plasma injection into his sprained right big toe.

The Yankees captain was still experiencing some lingering soreness in the toe more than a week after the first PRP injection, so he received another one on Thursday, aimed at a different ligament, which the team is hoping can help speed up his recovery process.

“There’s two ligaments, so they hit the other ligament, which was still giving him some of the soreness,” Boone said Friday before the Yankees opened a series at Fenway Park. “So he had that [Thursday] and is doing a lot better today.

“So nothing in the way of baseball stuff the next 48 hours, but he’s doing better.”

Judge has been out since June 4 and still has no definite timetable for his return because he has not been able to even begin any baseball activities yet.

Asked if surgery could be on the table if the soreness in Judge’s toe does not subside, Boone said, “I don’t know. I don’t think so. That’s over my head.”
