Judge went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Wedensday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Judge's highlight of the night came on a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning, which gave the Yankees a 4-3 lead. The big fly snapped a 10-game homer dry spell by the superstar slugger, who is still bating a ridiculous .426 (20-for-47) with three round trippers, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across his last 13 outings.

Judge went 0-for-1 with two walks in Friday's 9-1 rain-shortened loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees weren't able to generate much offense in a game that was halted in the sixth inning due to inclement weather, but Judge managed to reach base twice by drawing walks in each of his first two plate appearances. Judge leads the American League in both home runs (six) and RBI (20) and is slashing .347/.458/.776 across 59 plate appearances to start the season.

Judge went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

This was Judge's second game in a row with both a homer and a steal. He's taken the early lead in long balls this season with six over seven contests while racking up 17 RBI, 12 runs scored, two steals and a 4:10 BB:K. Judge is also hitting .379, having hit safely in six of seven games so far. He's exceeded the 50-homer mark three times in his career, including twice in the last three seasons, and the outfielder should continue to be a massive source of power in 2025.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Judge delivered the first blow in Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly's nightmarish evening with a three-run homer in the first inning, later singling to drive in another run during the fourth frame. The superstar slugger is off to a ridiculous start in 2025, hitting .417 with five long balls, three doubles, 15 RBI and one stolen base through 24 at-bats (six games).

Judge went 1-for-1 with three walks and a two-run homer during Sunday's 12-3 win against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The reigning AL MVP launched his fourth homer of the season during the opening frame, and the Milwaukee pitching staff didn't give him much to hit the rest of the afternoon. Judge struggled in the early going last year with a .674 OPS through his first 27 games, but he's already got six extra-base hits and 11 RBI while going 6-for-11 through three games in 2025.

Judge went 4-for-6 with a double, three home runs, four runs scored and eight RBI in Saturday's 20-9 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The eight RBI were a career high for Judge, who took former teammate Nestor Cortes deep in the first inning before belting long balls off Connor Thomas in the third and fourth. It's the third time in his career Judge has gone yard three times in a game, and he narrowly missed a fourth homer in the sixth inning. After slugging 58 homers en route to the AL MVP Award last season, Judge is off to a hot start to his 2025 campaign as he looks to repeat.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly Saturday in a Grapefruit League loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a rough spring for Judge, who is slashing just .138/.278/.276 over 36 plate appearances. However, the slugger was at least able to avoid going through the exhibition slate without a long ball when he belted a 381-foot, two-run blast to left field in the third inning Saturday. Fantasy managers may remember that Judge had an awful first month last season, batting just .180 with three long balls, but he still finished the campaign with a career-best 1.159 OPS, along with 58 homers and a career-high 144 RBI, so there's no reason to fret about his tepid Grapefruit League stats.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Judge will make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday against the Astros, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been healthy early on in camp, but the Yankees wanted to ease him into game action this spring after he played 172 games between the regular season and postseason in 2024. The two-time MVP is slated to play right field and bat second for the Yankees this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview with Foul Territory TV on Wednesday that he plans to bat Judge second this season.

EDGE Analysis

Judge hit in the two hole regularly in 2023 before moving to the three spot in 2024 while Juan Soto batted second. With Soto moving across town, Judge will now return to the second spot in the Yankees' lineup in 2025. Boone also seemed to imply that he'll likely hit either Cody Bellinger or Jazz Chisholm third, at least against right-handers. He has not decided on a leadoff hitter, but Chisholm and Jasson Dominguez seem to be the top candidates.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects Judge to make his Grapefruit League debut March 1 or shortly thereafter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge isn't dealing with an injury during camp, but the Yankees plan to hold the star outfielder out for the first week and a half of exhibition play to let players vying for roster spots pick up more at-bats. After Judge played 172 games between the regular season and postseason in 2024, Boone is mindful of building in some extra maintenance this spring for the reigning American League MVP as he prepares for what should be another hefty game count in 2025, assuming health prevails. Judge should help his chances of staying healthy by handling a less active role on the defensive end during the upcoming season, as he's expected to move back to his more natural right field position after he made the majority of his starts in center field in 2024 while former teammate Juan Soto patrolled right field.
