Aaron Judge suffered a right toe sprain after making an incredible catch against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 3, crashing through a right field gate.

On Thursday, he told reporters he doesn't yet have a timetable for his return:

"There's no timetable, really, which I think is best, because there's a couple things going on in there. So I think they don't want to say a timetable and then it's a couple of weeks longer or a couple of weeks less. I think it's more based on how it's feeling. Once it starts feeling better, then you can start progressing to doing some walking around baseball stuff and moving around. I think we're just kind of waiting on a lot of the inflammation and swelling to go down." 

Yankees manager Aaron Boone, meanwhile, seemed a little bit more annoyed with the constant questions surrounding Judge's injury status.

"Honestly, guys, with the timeline—we don't have the timeline," he told reporters. "We don't know. He got a shot in his toe yesterday. I don't have an answer for you. When we do, we'll give you the best timeline we possibly can."

It's tough news for a Yankees team (36-26) that is already 8.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays (46-19) in the AL East and finds itself tied with the Houston Astros for the final wild-card spot.

Granted, there's plenty of baseball left to be played. But a lengthy losing streak could be costly for the Yankees given how stacked the American League—namely the AL East—is.

Judge, 31, has an AL-leading 19 home runs to go along with a .291 batting average, 40 RBI, 42 runs and a 1.078 OPS. He was certainly in the running for a second straight MVP award before this injury, and a lengthy stint on the injured list could hamper those hopes.

Without him, New York's offense is simply less potent. He previously missed 10 games between late April and early May with a right hip sprain. The Yankees went 4-6 in that stretch, while they are 1-1 during his latest injury.

It's no surprise that New York isn't as good without baseball's best slugger. But until his toe improves, Judge is going to be stuck in the dugout.

"It doesn't feel great," he told reporters. "If it felt great, I'd be out there."
