Judge (lower body) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Aaron Boone noted after Tuesday's win that Judge has been managing some lower-body soreness of late and would likely need a day off, so the star outfielder's absence from the lineup a day later shouldn't come as a major surprise. The Yankees will presumably check back in with Judge early Thursday to see how he's feeling before deciding whether he'll be ready to rejoin the lineup for the series finale that afternoon. Per Erik Boland of Newsday, Boone noted that Judge would still be available off the bench Wednesday if there was "a big enough spot" for him to make an appearance as a pinch hitter.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's win over the Orioles that Judge will be out of the lineup within the next couple days while he deals with general lower body soreness, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is managing some general soreness with the Yankees eight games into a stretch of 13 straight days with a game, so he's due for a day off. Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during Tuesday's contest before being removed for the bottom of the ninth inning. He's likely to be withheld from the lineup for one of Wednesday's or Thursday's games in Baltimore.

Judge went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old clubbed his third and fourth home runs of the season Wednesday but had no additional opportunities for RBI since he never batted with a runner on base. Judge has a .282/.364/.590 slash line with seven RBI through 44 plate appearances this season.

Judge (side) is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will be on the bench for the second straight contest while managing soreness in his left side. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone said Judge hit in the cage Friday and won't require any imaging tests, so the outfielder should still be considered day-to-day. Mike Tauchman and Clint Frazier will start in the corner outfield spots for the Yankees in the series opener.
