Judge was on a tear before suffering from lower-body tightness and a mild calf strain, posting a .758 slugging percentage with nine home runs over his first 17 games. Its hard to see the Yankees taking playing time away from Clint Frazier given how hot Frazier has been, so Judge probably takes playing time away from Mike Fordonce he ...

Judge was suffering from general lower body tightness after playing four games on the turf at Tropicana Field, and the outfielder was ultimately diagnosed with an extremely mild calf strain.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) is receiving treatment on his ailing calf and doing lower body workouts with the hope that he can resume baseball activities on Monday. Manager Aaron Boone said, "he's feeling pretty good, we're hoping that this goes well and is a short amount of time." Judge's calf strain was diagnosed as a Grade 1 strain, so it was always the expectation that he'd miss around the minimum 10 days when he was placed on the IL Thursday. The slugger was off to a ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to what manager Aaron Boone is deeming a Grade 1 right calf strain. The Yankees seem unfazed about the move being a long-term ailment for Judge, who enters Friday with a big league-leading nine home runs. With Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) also out of the mix, Clint Frazier and Mike Tauchman remain the biggest candidates to see an increase in playing time, with Frazier having speculative add value in most ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was not among the starting nine for Wednesdays contest against the Braves and right-hander Huascar Ynoa. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Judge was dealing with lower body tightness, which included his hips, hamstrings, and calves.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and second baseman DJ LeMahieu are both getting the day off Thursday against Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin after both players took the field for both legs of Wednesdays doubleheader. Mike Tauchman enters the lineup for Judge and takes over the leadoff spot -- which makes him a high-upside DFS candidate -- while Tyler Wade mans the keystone in place of LeMahieu.

Aside from being the first Yankee since Alex Rodriguez (2007) to go deep in five consecutive games, he has now tied for the Major League-lead in HRs alongside Pirates third baseman Colin Moran.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge homered in his fourth straight game with a 455 ft shot against the Red Sox on Saturday. Judge has been on a tear lately and now owns a 1.074 OPS for the season. Although Judge hasnt been particularly lucky and has been hitting the ball hard with a 98.5 mph average exit velocity, his early-season performance including a 43% HR:FB ratio is unsustainable. Fantasy players should expect Judge to cool off somewhat over the rest of the season, but the ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge broke out of a brief home run outage with a 105 mph blast against the Orioles on Wednesday. Judge took a paltry .167/.167/.250 slash line into Wednesdays game, but the 28-year-olds power remains in-tact with a 97.8 mph average exit velocity for the young season. Judge doesnt appear to have any lingering issues related to the stress fracture in his rib that kept him sidelined this preseason, and fantasy players should expect the outfielder to post an OPS ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (neck) is expected to rejoin the teams lineup for its intrasquad game on Wednesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Boone had originally hoped that Judge would be back in the lineup on Tuesday, but the outfielders neck was still bothering him at that point. If Judge does get back in the lineup on Wednesday without experiencing discomfort in the coming days, then fantasy owners should expect him to be ready for the start of the season.
