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 (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.
