Yankees star Aaron Judge says scans negative for breaks after he was hit on hand by 94 mph pitch | KLRT [Video]

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge smiled after X-rays and a CT scan were negative, causing the New York Yankees and their fans to exhale.

Hit on the left hand by a 94.1 mph fastball from Baltimore’s Albert Suárez and forced from a 4-2 win on Tuesday night, Judge appeared to have escaped significant injury.

“Feeling better after I got some good news,” Judge said after returning to Yankee Stadium from New York–Presbyterian Hospital. “A big relief. Just being hit there before a couple of years ago and breaking the wrist, you never know what’s going to happen. So finding out that it’s not fractured, not broken, is definitely a sigh of relief.”

Judge missed 45 games with a broken right wrist after he was hit by a 93.4 mph pitch from Kansas City’s Jakob Junis on July 26, 2018.
