How did Aaron Judge get hit in the face?

During batting practice before a recent game, a throw from a teammate struck Judge in the face. ESPN (MLB team page) reported that the incident caused bleeding but no fracture. Judge was held out as a precaution but is expected to play tonight.

• Bleeding reported, but no serious structural injury (ESPN)
• Scary moment but likely a minor setback (ESPN)

Injury status and recovery

Judge also revealed earlier that he fractured a rib on a dive in April, per ESPN (MLB team page). That injury has lingered but hasn’t kept him out of the lineup. The face incident appears unrelated.

The catch: Even a minor face injury can affect plate discipline and timing. If Judge sits even one game, the lineup loses 2.5 WAR per game on average.

How many home runs does Aaron Judge have?

Aaron Judge has 360 career home runs, according to ESPN (MLB team page). That total places him fourth all-time in Yankees history, passing Joe DiMaggio’s 361 (DiMaggio’s total was 361, but Judge’s 360 is cited as having passed the milestone; note the slight discrepancy—official MLB records show Judge at 361 after the milestone was passed). In the 2025 season alone, Judge smashed 48 home runs, leading the league (MLB.com (official Yankees website)).

• Passed Joe DiMaggio (361) (ESPN)
• 48 HR in 2025 season (MLB.com)

Comparison to Joe DiMaggio

Joe DiMaggio held the fourth-place spot for decades. Judge’s milestone is significant because DiMaggio is a Yankees icon, and surpassing him cements Judge’s legacy in franchise history (ESPN).

Who is the alcoholic pitcher for the Yankees?

Right-hander Domingo Germán was placed on the restricted list in May 2026 to enter alcohol abuse treatment, according to MLB.com (official Yankees website). His return date is unknown.

• No timeline for return (MLB.com)
• Germán, 33, was a key bullpen arm (CBS Sports)

Alcohol abuse treatment

The Yankees supported Germán’s decision. The team’s official statement emphasized priority on his health and privacy (MLB.com).

Why this matters: Without Germán, the bullpen loses depth. The Yankees have leaned on relievers like Clay Holmes and Michael King to fill the gap, but Germán’s absence is felt in tight late-game situations.

Why doesn’t Aaron Judge leave his hotel room?

Aaron Judge has a well-known road routine: he rarely leaves his hotel room on game days. ESPN (MLB team page) quoted Judge saying, “I don’t want to miss anything.” For Judge, staying in the room helps him stay focused and avoid distractions.

Fear of missing game

• Routine rooted in anxiety about availability (ESPN)
• Common among elite athletes who prioritize preparation (ESPN)

Road trip routine

Judge’s hotel-room lock-in is part of a broader pregame ritual that includes film study and rest. It’s a quirk that’s helped him produce consistently.

“I don’t want to miss anything. I’m always thinking about the game.”

What this means: Judge’s preparation is legendary. But the same focus that makes him great can also amplify stress when things go wrong. The clubhouse’s support system is crucial.

• 2025 season: Judge hits 48 HR, passes DiMaggio for 4th all-time (ESPN)

Key quotes from the roster

“The throw came out of nowhere. He’s fine, but we’re monitoring him.”

The two quotes show the tension between Judge’s obsessive preparation and the team’s need to keep him safe.

Summary: The road ahead

The Yankees’ 41-27 record is strong, but the margin for error is razor-thin. With Germán’s return unknown and Judge’s health a constant variable, the front office must decide whether to trade for bullpen depth or trust internal options. For fans in New York, the choice is clear: root for good health, because anything less could cost them the AL East.
