“I feel good. Not great yet, but we’re getting close. I have to be able to run. If I can run, I can play. That I can run at just 10% does not help anyone“Commented the captain of the ninth from the Bronx.
Regarding the possibility of an operation, Judge commented that: We have talked about surgery.But I don’t think we’re at that point. I’m not doctor. I have no idea, but they gave me several options, ”she explained.
