Judge (hip) is not in the Yankees' lineup Monday versus the Guardians but is slated to take batting practice before the game, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge will miss a fourth straight start with a strain at the top of his right hip, but it would seem to be a good sign that he's taking BP. Based on how it goes, it's possible he could be ready to return to the lineup Tuesday. The Yankees have Isiah Kiner-Falefa in center field and Willie Calhoun in right field Monday.

Judge (hip) will not return to the lineup for the Yankees for Sunday or Monday's games, but he could play Tuesday against the Guardians if he's not placed on the injured list, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are still waiting to make a decision on whether to place Judge on the injured list, but at the very least the reigning MVP will miss at least two more games while dealing with the strain at the top of his hip. New York would be able to backdate Judge's injured list stint by three days, so he would likely miss only another week if the Yankees deem that to be a necessary move.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters before Saturday's game against the Rangers that Judge has a slight strain at the top of his hip, and the team will wait a couple of days to see if he can continue to improve before placing him on the injured list, Jack Curry of YES Networkreports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone told reporters that they're hopeful to make a decision on whether Judge needs to be removed from the active roster by Monday. Judge underwent an MRI before Friday's game, and it revealed a strain that will keep the outfielder out of action, but does not appear to be significant enough to cause a long-term leave of absence. That being said, fantasy managers should be prepared for Judge to miss another couple of games, at the very least.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters after Friday's loss to the Rangers that the MRI on Judge's hip showed "something", but the team doctor will weigh in before any decision is made in regards to being placed on the injured list, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone did say that a trip to the injured list for Judge is possible, but cautioned it was too early to determine his status. The reigning MVP is expected to miss at least one more game at least regardless of the decision, but an update on just how much time Judge will miss will likely be available before Saturday's game against Texas.

Judge will undergo an MRI on his ailing right hip Friday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge tweaked his hip during an awkward slide in Wednesday's game versus the Twins and then aggravated it Thursday against the Rangers. He's expected to be sidelined for a few days, at minimum, and a stint on the injured list is possible, depending on what the MRI reveals. Jake Bauers has been added to the Yankees' taxi squad and will join the active roster if Judge needs to go on the IL.

Judge will miss the "next couple of days" due to a hip injury, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge exited in the middle of Thursday's game, but he noted that he had felt pain in his hip since earlier in the day. The issue is related to an awkward slide that occurred in Wednesday's contest. While it's unclear if a stint on the injured list will be required, Judge noted that he is not concerned about the issue being long term.

Judge exited Thursday's game against the Rangers with right hip discomfort, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was removed midway through the contest for undisclosed reasons. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, though the details remain unclear. Oswaldo Cabrera entered the game in Judge's place.

Judge was removed from Thursday's game against the Rangers for undisclosed reasons, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The removal was presumably due to an injury, though nothing has been confirmed by the team. Judge suffered an injury to each of his hands on Wednesday against the Twins, but he declared himself healthy after the game. It's unclear if Thursday's issue is related. Oswaldo Cabrera took over in right field in Judge's place.

Judge injured both hands on a stolen-base attempt during Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Twins but said after the contest he's "all good," Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and one run while playing all nine innings as the Yankees' designated hitter.

EDGE Analysis

Judge's hands got jammed into the dirt on an awkward slide into third base in the top of the second inning, when he was tagged out on the steal attempt. He was checked out by the Yankees' training staff and was seen flexing his right hand multiple times in the dugout. However, Judge remained in the game and picked up a walk and a single in three more plate appearances. Manager Aaron Boone may use the hand injury as a reason to give the slugger a day off Thursday against the Rangers, but Judge otherwise looks like he'll be fine moving forward.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Wednesday in a 3-2 extra-inning victory against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Judge got the scoring started in the first inning, walloping a 412-foot, two-run homer off Griffin Canning. It was the sixth long ball of the season for the slugger, moving him into a tie for fifth place in the majors. Judge has cooled down a bit of late, going 3-for-21 (.143) over his past seven contests. However, he's worked six walks over that span, and two of his three hits have been homers.
