Yeah, I see what you are saying about his toe injury being from the wall.
But from an
article posted today in the Athletic:
"Let us hear from The Mayor, who just happens to be the Yankees’ previous hitting coach, and hates the idea of Aaron Judge playing center field.
Sean Casey, step to the microphone.
“No. No. No. No. No. I do not want Judgie as my center fielder,” Casey said Wednesday on his podcast, “The Mayor’s Office.” “I just think center field is so demanding, dude, and he’s such a big guy, and to have to demand him to go so far in the gaps and be on the run — you have to cover more ground as a center fielder. The wear and tear on his body — I don’t like it . . . I don’t think Boonie does, either.”"

Article points out that if Giancarlo Stanton gets injured again, that Judge may see time at DH.
