Aaron Judge's big toe is more than a footnote for the New York Yankees.

Judge missed 42 games after tearing a ligament in his right big toe when he crashed into the right-field fence at Dodger Stadium last June 3, a big reason the Yankees fell from postseason contention.

"It's going to be I think a constant maintenance I think the rest of my career," Judge said Tuesday. "Anything with injuries like that, you just got to stay on top of it so it doesn't flare up again."
