New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a grand slam in Friday's blowout win over Detroit. Judge had taken a seat on the bench for the past two games as management for his heavy workload- though he returned to the lineup with a bang, crushing a tape-measure, 436-foot solo shot off of Tigers' starter Tarik Skubal in the third inning, then taking reliever Buck Farmer deep for a grand slam in the fourth. Both long balls registered exit velocities of 100 MPH ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge(lower body) is back in the lineup for Friday's game, as expected. Judge sat out the previous two games with lower-body soreness, though manager Aaron Boone had indicated that the slugger would be available for all three games against the Tigers. He'll slot into the order as the No. 3 hitter against Tigers southpaw Tarik Skubal, who has surrendered at least one home run in three of his five starts. Judge has a hit in four of his last five games -- three of ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is expected to play in each game of this weekend's upcoming series against the Tigers. Judge has been held out of the last two contests with what manager Aaron Boone referred to as "lower-body soreness" resulting from travel and a heavy workload- though it appears as if the slugger will be good to go for some appealing matchups against Tigers' pitching. Judge owns a .852 OPS with two home runs in 14 career games against Detroit. Friday's ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) remains out of the lineup on Thursday, but will be available as a pinch-hitter if needed, according to Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. Judge was held out of Wednesday's lineup due to lower body soreness, and manager Aaron Boone said that he wanted to give Judge one more day to rest before putting him back into the lineup. Through his first 21 games, Judge has gotten off to a good start by slashing .263/.385/.500 with five home runs, 10 RBI...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone had said that Judge would have to sit for a game or two, as he's dealing with lower-body soreness from travel and appearing in eight straight games. The team hopes the slugger will be back for Thursday's game. Sanchez will sit for the second straight contest, as he appears to be on the wrong side of a catcher timeshare with Kyle Higashioka. The ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over Baltimore. Judge had gone 10 games without a long ball before he sent a line-drive blast into the seats at an exit velocity of 116.2 MPH for his fifth round-tripper of the year. The big man has been hitting the ball hard lately and has five hits in his last four games, three of them for extra bases. It's worth noting that manager Aaron Boone told reporters postgame that Judge is dealing with ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Monday's loss to the Orioles. Judge looked good at the plate, ripping a flyout at 107 MPH, then collecting an RBI on a rocketed double at 111.8 MPH. The hit gives him three in as many games- and he's walked nine times in his last seven contests. Pitchers are not taking any chances with Judge right now, which makes some sense given the lineup's struggles as a whole. The slugger should get more pitches to square...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a pair of strikeouts in a 6-3 loss to the Rays on Saturday. The exit velocity on Judge's double was 107.9 MPH, a rocket that scored DJ LeMahieu in the bottom of the seventh inning. Judge's Statcast page is littered in red, though perhaps the most impressive mark is his .364 expected batting average, a number that will no doubt decline- though it still speaks to the improvements the slugger has made as an overall ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge enjoyed a big day at the plate on Wednesday, going yard twice and picking up a single for a three-hit game. Judge has been characteristically excellent this season when healthy, but he's already missed a pair of games dealing with general side soreness and will probably always come with more injury risk than the average hitter. Still, games like Wednesday's show why Judge is so valuable when healthy as he's one of the league's best power hitters hitting ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays. Judge had gone four games without a dinger but resoundingly snapped his homer-less streak with a couple of Statcast blasts, most notably his second, which traveled 426 feet at an exit velocity of 11.9 MPH. The California native seems to be past his side soreness- which had sidelined him for a couple of games- and seems ready to keep raking. He owns a 1.002 OPS and has some ...
