Aaron Judge's toe injury sounds a lot worse than initially thought.
The New York Yankees star admitted Saturday he actually tore a ligament after he crashed through a wall at Dodger Stadium on June 4. The team originally called the injury a sprain and placed Judge on the injured list two days later on June 6. Judge added that he still has pain in his foot when he walks and didn't know when he would play again this season.
"I'm not giving you any timeline," he said. "There’s no need. I’ve just got to get better and then I'll be out there.
"I don't think too many people in here have torn a ligament in their toe," Judge said. "If it was a quad, we’d have a better answer. If it's an oblique or hamstring, we have answers and a timeline for that. With how unique this injury is, and it being my back foot, which I push off of and run off of, it's a tough spot."
Yankees manager Aaron Boone also refused to give a timeline but said he expects Judge to return this season. However, Boone wouldn't go so far as to assure it.
"That’s an absolute," Boone said about if he could guarantee Judge would play in 2023. "I can't say that about anyone."
Judge's latest injury has dealt a huge blow to his MVP candidacy and to the Yankees' 2023 season.
While he batted 291/.404/.674 before the injury, Judge no longer leads MLB in home runs or OPS. His 19 home runs now trail five other batters and he's six back from Shohei Ohtani. Judge has already landed on the IL earlier this year and missed 10 games in late April and early May due to a hip injury.
New York, meanwhile, is 11-16 in 27 games without Judge this year, has lost six of its past eight games and now sits third in the AL East with a 41-35 record.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
