Aaron Judge bloodied after getting hit by Anthony Volpe throw between innings in wild Yankees moment

What a Subway Series it’s turning out to be for Anthony Volpe. 

He entered it in the midst of a wretched stretch that stood out even for a player prone to lengthy slumps. 

Then, things took another turn in a 12-6 loss to the Mets on Saturday, as the Yankees dropped their sixth straight game and are now on the verge of being swept out of Citi Field. 

To make matters worse, Volpe nearly took out Aaron Judge with a meaningless throw after the fourth inning. 

As the Yankees jogged off the field following the bottom of the fourth, Volpe, already past third base and in foul territory, launched a throw in the direction of Judge — who was coming in from right field. 

Unfortunately for Judge and the Yankees, he wasn’t looking and he got drilled near his right eye.

The ball broke Judge’s sunglasses and left him bleeding near the eye as he picked up the shattered pieces of his eyewear. 

After a quick top of the fifth, with Volpe flying out to center for the second out, Judge returned to the field for the bottom of the fifth with a bandage near the eye. 

Aaron Boone said his immediate reaction was “confusion.”
