Judge went 2-for-2 with three walks, a two-run home run and solo home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has hit safely in three straight games, totaling four home runs, eight RBI and four walks during that stretch. The reigning AL MVP had been in a mild slump before his recent hot stretch, but he's still slashing .274/.376/.581 with 10 home runs, 24 RBI and 26 runs scored across 33 games (141 plate appearances).

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers and a walk in Saturday's 9-8 win against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was instrumental in bringing New York back from an early six-run deficit. He swatted a two-run shot to bring the team to within a pair of runs in the fifth inning, then gave the Yankees their first lead with another two-run blast in the sixth. The big performance snapped an uncharacteristic power drought for the slugger, who hadn't homered in his previous 12 games. Judge is up to eight homers and 20 RBI while slashing .264/.359/.536 with two thefts through 131 plate appearances on the campaign.

Judge (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Judge will make his return to the lineup after missing just under two weeks while recovering from a strained right hip. The 31-year-old went 5-for-14 with three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored over his final four games before going down with the injury. Judge has produced a .261 average with six homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases over 92 at-bats in 26 games, and he'll look to take advantage of the plus matchup against Oakland on Tuesday night.

Judge (hip) continues to hit and run and remains on track to be activated Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has been out since April 27 with a strained right hip, but his absence won't stretch on much longer. His .261/.352/.511 slash line in 26 games prior to his injury was perhaps below his sky-high expectations but still represents a strong performance.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday that the club is currently targeting Tuesday against the Athletics for Judge (hip) to return to the lineup.
EDGE Analysis
Judge an, threw and did defensive work at the #Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa on Friday. The outfielder is dealing with a strain at the top of his hip, but a return to the lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday would mean he only misses one extra day on the injured list. As long as as there are no setbacks, the Yankees and fantasy managers should get the reigning 2022 MVP back in their lineups at some point next week.

Judge (hip) hit in the cage pregame Tuesday and the Yankees are hopeful he'll be ready to return on May 8 when first eligible, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge probably could have played through his hip issue, but the Yankees decided to play it safe and put him on the IL on Monday. However, it sounds like there's a good chance the slugger will be back in action following a minimum absence.

New York placed Judge (hip) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees waited as long as they could to see if Judge could recover from the hip issue without needing a stint on the IL, but the outfielder will end up missing a week-plus after he didn't make as much progress as the team had hoped heading into Monday's series opener with the Guardians. Since Judge's IL stint is retroactive to last Friday, he could be activated as soon as May 8. The Yankees recalled Franchy Cordero from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre to replace the reigning American League MVP on the 26-man active roster.
