MLB Note - New York Yankees Judge, Aaron

Jul 29, 2017 - 8:19 AM RF Aaron Judge went to the dentist Friday morning after getting a front upper left tooth chipped by a batting helmet in the celebration at the plate following OF Brett Gardner's game-winning homer in the 11th inning Thursday. "I tried to rush off the field without anybody noticing it," Judge said. "There was a lot of cameras around." Judge said security was unable to find the tooth and he received a lot of ribbing from teammates once the clip hit social media. Said manager Joe Girardi: "Obviously we're very relieved. I'm sure it was somewhat of an uncomfortable night for him last night but the story I got is he basically picked up the helmet to protect his teammates and the helmet got knocked off into his tooth and he lost, I think it was his front tooth. But it has been repaired temporarily and he's back in the lineup." After joking about his dental work, Judge hit his 33rd homer in Friday's 6-1 win and extended his home hitting streak to 17 games.
