In the second game of this Subway Series, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe accidentally hit Aaron Judge in the head with a baseball. While it's normal for Judge to get thrown the ball as they head off the field, this time Judge wasn't looking and was hit in the face.

Yankees captain Aaron Judge was struck near his right eye by a tossed baseball between innings Saturday against the Mets.

New York Yankees superstar slugger Aaron Judge took a ball to the face via friendly fire during Saturday's road stand against the New York Mets. During an inning shift, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe accidentally hit Judge in the face. The game replay makes it look like pretty gnarly contact, but Judge just needed a bandage to return to the game.

A possible target for the Yankees could be Miami Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara earned a National League Cy Young Award in 2022, taking a slight step back during his 2023 campaign before missing the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

The Yankees are reportedly calling on one of their young talents after losing Clarke Schmidt to an injury. New York is planning on promoting young right-hander Cam Schlittler to make his MLB debut on Tuesday or Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners, according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post.

The New York Yankees cannot catch a break in July, and received crushing news on starter Clarke Schmidt after he was sent to the IL.
