Judge went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a pair of walks during Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge got the Yankees on the board with a 366-foot shot against Hyun Jin Ryu in the third inning. Clearly the 29-year-old is just fine after dislocating his left pinkie finger during Sunday's game. The long ball was the team-leading 37th of the year for Judge, who is slashing .287/.374/.540 overall.

Manager Aaron Boone said that Judge is "good to go" after dislocating his left pinkie finger during Sunday's win over Boston, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was able to stay in the game after suffering the injury, so it's not surprising that he's able to play Tuesday. Boone added that the injury wasn't "too serious," so as of now, it doesn't look like it will be a reason for concern going forward. Judge is starting in right field and batting third Tuesday against Toronto.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's 24th double of the season proved to be the most consequential play of the night, as he plated the go-ahead runs in the seventh inning to help the Yankees secure a series sweep while surging ahead of the Red Sox in the American League wild-card race. The Red Sox defense did Judge some favors in allowing the clutch hit to come to fruition; first baseman Bobby Dalbec and catcher Christian Vazquez both failed to corral foul balls that prolonged Judge's at-bat before the slugger lined a ball to the left-center gap. Judge is batting a mere .217 in September, but he's made the most of his 20 hits on the month with eight home runs and 17 RBI.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double Tuesday in the Yankees' 7-1 triumph over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's opposite-field blast in the seventh inning was his 36th of the season, allowing him to jump ahead of Cleveland's Jose Ramirez (35) for ninth place in the majors. The 29-year-old is getting on base at a poor .277 clip thus far in September, but he's been productive enough from a counting-stats standpoint (seven home runs, 15 RBI, 10 runs) through 20 games.

Judge (head) will start in right field and bat third Monday against the Twins, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the quick turnaround for Monday's make-up game with the Twins, Judge looks like he'll be ready to play after exiting early in the Yankees' loss to the Mets on Sunday night after experiencing dizziness. Judge never entered the concussion protocol and was apparently feeling better after reporting to the ballpark early Monday, so fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable keeping him in lineups as the Yankees kick off a seven-game week.

EDGE Analysis
