Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-8 victory over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
With a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday, Judge inched closer toward history. He passed Xander Bogaerts in batting average to claim the lead in the AL triple crown race and now has 60 homers, just one shy of tying the AL record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Judge's remarkable month of September has improved his season-long slash line to .316/.419/.703, and if it holds, he would be the first player to slug over .700 since Barry Bonds did in 2004.

Judge went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI, three runs and a walk during Sunday's 12-8 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Judge extended his hitting streak to nine games during Sunday's high-scoring matchup, and he's had six multi-hit performances across that span. He's up to 59 home runs in 2022 following his multi-homer performance, bringing him within two home runs of tying the single-season American League record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Since the start of September, the 30-year-old has posted a 1.604 OPS with eight home runs, five doubles, 18 runs, 14 RBI and a stolen base over 15 games.

Judge went 3-for-4 with two homers, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's extra-inning win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The AL MVP candidate had a huge day at the plate Tuesday, as he tied the game up at 3-3 with a solo shot in the sixth inning. After the Red Sox responded with a run of their own, he launched another solo shot to tie the game at 4-4. The multi-home run game was his 10th of the season and gives him a league-best 57 home runs. He also now has a 10-game hitting streak, during which he is 19-for-37 with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI.

Judge went 1-for-5 with five walks, a solo home run and a stolen base Wednesday as the Yankees swept a doubleheader with the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota's pitchers tried their best to work around the major-league home run leader, but Judge still launched his 55th homer of the season in the fourth inning of the matinee off rookie Louie Varland -- his fourth straight game with a long ball. He then showed off his athleticism by stealing his career-high 16th base of the year in the nightcap. Since the beginning of August, Judge has been an offensive juggernaut, slashing .312/.479/.725 over 33 games with 13 homers, six steals, 23 runs and 27 RBI.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-2 win against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
With the score tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, Judge launched a two-run shot to left field to put New York ahead for good. The performance marked his third straight game with a long ball and pushed his season total to a league-leading 54 homers. Since struggling through a nine-game homerless stretch in mid-August, Judge has gone deep eight times in his subsequent 13 contests.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge mashed a belt-high sinker from Shawn Armstrong 450 feet to left field to lead off the game for the Yankees. The slugger also recorded a base hit in the fifth inning and doubled and scored in the seventh for good measure. Judge now has 53 homers, a career high and the league's highest total since Pete Alonso hit 53 in 2019. Judge is now slashing .299/.401/.674 on the season.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Judge continued his incredible season by blasting his 52nd home run of the year. That mark ties his season high from 2017, as does his 114 RBI this season, which was also a season high from that year. The outfielder has the sixth-most strikeouts in baseball this year at 146, but he also has the 14th most hits at 141 to go along with the second most walks and third most intentional walks. That has resulted in a .296/.399/.666 slash line for Judge this season.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Judge supplied the Yankees' last runs of the game with his 51st homer of the season. That blast accounted for the margin of victory. This was his first three-hit game in August, but he's flexed power with five long balls in his last eight contests. The star outfielder is up to a .297/.398/.667 slash line with 113 RBI, 104 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 126 games.

Judge went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Monday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was issued a free pass in two of his first three plate appearances, but he took advantage of being pitched to in the eighth inning, belting a 434-foot solo shot off Ryan Tepera. The long ball was the 50th of the season for the big slugger, giving him the second 50-homer season of his career. Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Judge joins Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle as the only Yankees players to have multiple seasons of 50-plus home runs.

Judge went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and three walks in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's fifth-inning homer was all the scoring the Yankees mustered in the contest. The three walks matched a season high, and it was his seventh multi-walk game this month. The star outfielder is up to 49 homers, 109 RBI, 101 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and a .297/.397/.665 slash line through 122 games this year. He's walking at a 13.6 percent clip, his highest walk rate since 2019.
