New York Yankees star Aaron Judge was struck in the face by a toss from teammate Anthony Volpe as they were coming off the field after the fifth inning of Saturday’s 12-6 loss to the New York Mets.

If you're a New York Yankees teammate of Aaron Judge, you probably don't want to hurt Aaron Judge. Anthony Volpe didn't quite heed that principle on Saturday evening. When Judge was running off the field between innings, Volpe tossed a baseball his way. Judge didn't see it coming, and it bonked him right in the head.

NEW YORK — The reeling Yankees need Anthony Volpe to break out and live up to his lofty expectations, but the shortstop is busy having a disappointing third summer in pinstripes. With his 0-for-3 in Friday’s 6-5 loss to the Mets at Citi Field, the shortstop is now hitting .121 (8-for-66) in his last 19 games with 18 strikeouts.
