New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has been out of the lineup with a toe injury since the beginning of June, and even as he was selected to this year's MLB All-Star Game, he announced Sunday he will not be participating.

Judge wrote in a series of tweets he will take the mid-summer break to focus on rehabbing from his injury.

"I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all the fans who voted me in as a starter for the 2023 All-Star game in Seattle," he tweeted. "I feel truly blessed to be included in this group of outstanding players- it is an honor to be among those names. Unfortunately, I will not be making the trip to Seattle."
