How in the hell does the Yankees' medical staff skate after we have found out that Aaron Judge not only had a busted rib, but a collapsed lung? Does anyone know how serious that is? It's crazy to me that an athlete can have a good, solid organization surrounding him and yet, the medical staff misses something pretty substantial in our top player. I mean, was it them or was it Aaron or was it the Yankees for purposely not sharing this information? What the hell is going on? Why aren't more people outraged by this?
ESPN writes:
" Aaron Judge told reporters Friday that his fractured rib is improving, and he also disclosed that he suffered a partially collapsed lung...
The Yankees never divulged the pneumothorax, commonly called a collapsed lung. Judge said a scheduled CT scan Friday showed the pneumothorax had fully healed and that had been slight progress in the healing of the rib.
"The pneumothorax came back completely gone, which a good thing," Judge told reporters outside Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida. "Good to go, which means I can fly if I needed to go home. A little thing on the lung that we were having a little issue with, but that was all healed up. ... The bone is healing the way it should be."
But why... WHY did it happen like this? Who is responsible for this and why aren't they reprimanded or gone??
Look, if there is one thing I do know about sports and the athletes that play them... we need healthy players. That's why they are there, right? You can't have broken down players, players not able to give their all because they are hurt or not revealing injury because they don't want people to know, or the medical staff disregards it or misses it.
Suzie Pinstripe talks about Judge's maturity when it comes to his injury in a BYB Media podcast we will be sharing with you shortly. Listen to this...
She's right.
Get well soon Aaron. We need you buddy!
