Yankees slugger Aaron Judge recently started playing catch and began taking some light swings with the bat, but it will still likely be a while before the reigning AL MVP returns to the lineup. 

On June 4, Judge tore a ligament in a toe after he slammed into an outfield wall as he made a catch. His right foot banged the concrete below the padding of the Dodger Stadium wall. 

The Dodgers later announced plans to cover the concrete with padding.

A couple days later, the Yankees announced Judge had been placed on the injured list, retroactive to June 4.

Dodger Stadium opened in 1962, and it's the third-oldest ballpark in the major leagues. Judge is in the midst of his second IL stint this season. He missed 11 games earlier this season due to a hip strain. 

On Tuesday, Judge said it is unclear how long he will feel the foot injury. The 31-year-old also mentioned he will hold off on any potential surgery as he continues to work his way back.

"It doesn’t feel great," Judge said Tuesday.

"I don’t think it will ever feel normal. I can move around pretty well, but any injury, [it can bother you for] a year or two or three years. … You never know what it’s gonna feel like."
