WATCH: Yankees' Aaron Judge drills home run in first game after injury scare image

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge didn't waste any time proving his hand injury isn't going to be an issue.

In his first game back after narrowly avoiding a major injury following a hit-by-pitch to his left hand on Tuesday night, Judge drilled a two-run home run to right field.

The ball was absolutely smoked with an exit velocity of 110.6 mph and a distance of 395 feet.

This should quell any concerns about Judge's left hand as The Captain extended his MLB lead to 27 home runs.
