Judge went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Judge got the Yankees off to a strong start after singling to left field in the first inning and being quickly driven in by Giancarlo Stanton's RBI single. The 30-year-old then added to the lead by hitting two solo home runs, one in the third inning off Tyler Wells and the other in the eighth inning off Logan Gillaspie. This impressive display earned Judge the 28th multi-homer game of his career and the first of the season. With four homers and a .364/.436/.758 slash line through 33 at-bats, Judge is off to a strong start in his follow-up to last season's MVP campaign.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base against the Phillies in a 4-2 victory Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge helped New York get off to a promising start in the win, singling to left field in the first inning, subsequently stealing second base and coming around to score the game's first run on a Gleyber Torres single. The theft was the first of the campaign for the slugger, who tallied a career-high 16 steals last season. Judge's power is undoubtedly his biggest asset, but his fantasy value will be all the more savory if he can reach double-digit steals again in 2023.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-0 win against the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge kicked off the scoring for New York in the contest, knocking a 392-foot solo shot in the third inning. The long ball was his sixth hit of the season, two of which have left the park. Judge is off to a strong start following his 2022 MVP campaign, posting a .462/.462/.923 slash line and driving in four runs over his first three games.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two total RBI in the Yankees' season-opening defeat of the Giants on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After setting a new single-season AL home run record in 2022, the $360 million slugger kicked off 2023 with a first-inning bomb to center off Giants ace Logan Webb. Judge then drove in Jose Trevino with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh as New York cruised to a 5-0 victory on Opening Day in the Bronx. Judge will be hard pressed to top his 62 homers from last season, but he's picked up right where he left off in his MVP campaign.

Judge hasn't traveled with the Yankees for any of their Grapefruit League road games, but he's been getting live at-bats while the team is away, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge's absence from spring road games isn't particularly unusual for a player of his tenure and status, though it has limited him to action in just nine of New York's 20 contests. The slugger has fared well when he has played, going 8-for-19 (.421) with four doubles, a home run, four RBI, four runs and a 4:3 BB:K. Judge has also been logging at-bats against the team's hurlers before home games and taking plenty of swings against high-velocity batting machines, so he's had ample opportunity to shake off any offseason rust. The Yankees captain won't go the entire spring without traveling -- he's expected to play in at least one road game during the upcoming weekend.

Judge could see some starts in center field while Harrison Bader (oblique) is sidelined, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge actually made more starts in center than anywhere else last season, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch. The reigning AL MVP had already been ticketed for some left field duty this season, too, so it's possible he'll see action at all three outfield spots.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that Judge will play left field Wednesday and Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been widely reported that Judge is going to play some left field during home games to allow Giancarlo Stanton to handle right field, with right offering far less ground to cover for Stanton. Judge might have a short acclimation period, but given his athleticism he should have no trouble making the switch with three-plus weeks until the regular season starts.

Judge will make his spring debut in left field either Wednesday or Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge is going to play some left field in home games this year, which would allow Giancarlo Stanton to play right field in Yankees Stadium -- an area that will require Stanton to cover less ground. Judge has never played left field in the majors, but his athleticism should allow the transition to be a painless one.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told ESPN on Wednesday that Judge is likely to play left field soon, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

"Sometime, probably next week," Boone said. Judge has primarily played in right field with some center for the Yankees, but the outfielder is going to see some time in left with Giancarlo Stanton patrolling right -- an area that would require Stanton to cover less ground. Judge has only played in left field as a professional in 2016 when he was Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but it shouldn't be a major adjustment for the slugger.

Judge is under consideration by Yankees manager Aaron Boone to play some left field this season during home games, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

That would allow Boone to play Giancarlo Stanton some in right field, where he wouldn't have to cover much ground, thereby freeing up the designated hitter spot for others. Stanton started 38 games in the outfield last season, although none of those starts came after July. Judge actually played center field more than anywhere else last season but, of course, right field is his natural spot. His only experience in left field came in 2016 at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, when he started seven games there.
