Judge went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He took Jorge Lopez deep in the second inning, Judge's fourth homer over the course of a five-game hitting streak and his 11th long ball of the year. The slugger's power surge has pushed his slash line up to .289/.389/.586, giving him a .975 OPS that's only a little short of his breakout 2017 performance.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Judge homered in the first and fourth innings for his ninth and 10th long balls of the year. The 29-year-old has been locked at the plate over his last four games, slashing .571/.625/.1.286 with three home runs, three RBI and four runs scored. He has not struck out either over that span. His OPS has also risen to .946, which would be his best mark since his 2017 rookie season.

Judge went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge had half of the Yankees' hits in the narrow win and scored their only run in the seventh after leading off the inning with a base knock to left-center field. The 29-year-old has struggled to see the ball well for most of May but is 5-for-8 over his last two games and appears to be starting to turn things around. The Rays are scheduled to throw Rich Hill on Thursday, which could bode well for Judge as he's historically had much more success against lefties in his career and is slashing .379/.486/.690 with a 1.175 OPS against them in 35 plate appearances this year.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge opened up the scoring early when he absolutely lasered a ball out to center to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the first. The home run was his first of May -- he's only tallied four hits in his last eight games while also owning a 3:14 BB:K over that span. His performance Tuesday could instill more confidence at the plate and help break him out of the slump he's endured for most of this month.

Judge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's holding Judge out of the lineup Sunday in a "proactive" measure with New York set to embark of a heavy schedule following Monday's off day. Judge will effectively get two days in a row off, which the Yankees are hoping allows the struggling outfielder to clear his head and get right at the plate. Over his last six starts, Judge has gone 2-for-24 with 14 strikeouts.

Judge struck out in all five of his plate appearances in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The five strikeouts tied a career high for Judge, who stranded six runners on the night. Judge's struggles at the dish weren't enough to slow down the surging Yankees, who rolled to their fifth straight victory thanks largely to Giancarlo Stanton, who reached base four times and drove in four. The Yankees could look to give Judge a day off soon to clear his head, but fantasy managers shouldn't fret too much about his poor showing Wednesday.

Judge went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 10-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis

He hit a solo home run to lead off the third inning before blasting a grand slam with one out in the fourth. Judge has slashed .272/.385/.568 with seven home runs, 15 RBI and 10 runs through the first month of the season.
