Judge is out of the lineup Tuesday versus Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

It's presumably just a regular day of rest for Judge, who will be heading to Los Angeles for the All-Star Game instead of getting next week off. The star outfielder, who's slugging .474 in his last 10 games, should return to action Wednesday. Aaron Hicks plays center field in Tuesday's series opener.

Judge (lower body) will return to action as expected Friday against the Red Sox, batting second and serving as the designated hitter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge missed Thursday's series opener due to lower-body soreness, but the issue never seemed to be a particularly serious one. The fact that he'll be limited to DH duties may suggest that he's not quite 100 percent healthy, but he's evidently healthy enough to hit.

Judge (soreness) is expected to be back in the lineup Friday against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge was held out of the lineup Thursday due to lower-body soreness. The issue doesn't look to be serious as his absence is likely to be limited to one game.

Judge is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox due to lower-body soreness, though manager Aaron Boone expects the outfielder to be available to pinch hit, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, a double and a stolen base Wednesday to bust out of a 5-for-39 slump, but he'll receive Thursday off due to some soreness. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, so the 30-year-old is likely to be back in the lineup within a day or two.

Judge is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Judge isn't known to be nursing an injury, but since he most recently received a maintenance day in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Guardians, he wouldn't seem to be a prime candidate to get a breather Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone should shed more light on the situation later Thursday, but Matt Carpenter will benefit from a third consecutive start while Judge takes a seat. The American League MVP candidate bolstered his credentials Wednesday, when he went 3-for-4 with a double and his MLB-best 30th home run while driving in four runs in the Yankees' 16-0 rout of the Pirates.

Judge went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and a steal in Wednesday's victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Judge knocked in Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Kyle Higashioka and DJ LeMahieu on his eighth-inning grand slam, which was his league-leading 30th home run. The four-RBI game gives him 64 on the season, good for fourth most in baseball. The outfielder is 5-for-16 in July for a .313/.450/.625 slash line and has raised his season batting average to .287. The steal in Wednesday's contest was Judge's second of the month and his seventh overall.

Judge is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Judge started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, and this is presumably just a rest day for the AL MVP candidate. Aaron Hicks will shift over to center field as Marwin Gonzalez enters the lineup in left against right-hander Triston McKenzie. Giancarlo Stanton will serve as the designated hitter.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old put New York on the board with a 429-foot, two-run shot to left during the opening frame, and he walked during the third inning and came around to score on Giancarlo Stanton's three-run homer. Judge entered Wednesday's contest in a 2-for-20 slump, but he showed signs of busting out with the homer and the walk.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk during Sunday's 6-3 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Yankees were held without a hit over the first six innings of Sunday's matchup, the team rallied late, and Judge propelled the team to the win with his second walkoff hit in the last four games. The 30-year-old has hit a modest .277 in June after hitting .303 over the first two months of the season, but he's recorded 10 homers, 20 runs, 18 RBI and two stolen bases over 24 games this month.

Judge and the Yankees settled on a one-year, $19 million contract Friday to avoid an arbitration hearing, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge reportedly turned down a one-year, $19 million offer from the Yankees in recent days, but the two sides were ultimately able to strike a deal with that salary. He'll be able to make up to $500,000 in incentives, and it's encouraging that the two sides settled prior to a hearing, which can strain relationships between players and their teams. The 30-year-old is slashing .304/.379/.658 with 27 homers, 58 runs, 53 RBI and five stolen bases to begin the season.
