Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Yankees superstar Aaron Judge did not rule out the possibility of offseason elbow surgery following New York's playoff elimination Wednesday.
"We'll definitely do some work on it and get it right," the two-time American League MVP said, per The Athletic.
Asked to clarify whether that meant surgery, the 33-year-old outfielder replied: "I'm not a doctor. I don't know."
Judge was 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 home loss to Toronto that gave the Blue Jays a 3-1 victory in the American League Division Series.
Judge was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow back in late July and spent 10 days on the injured list. He served as the designated hitter for the rest of August before returning to right field on Sept. 5.
The seven-time All-Star finished with a major league-leading .331 batting average to go along with 53 homers, 114 RBIs and AL highs in runs (137) and walks (124) in 152 games.
In seven postseason games, Judge batted .500 (13-for-26) with one homer and seven RBIs.
