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.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Judge (illness) is "good to go," Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was held out of the lineup for Monday's Grapefruit League finale due to a minor illness, but he participated in team activities Wednesday and looked good in batting practice. The 28-year-old will likely slot into the No. 2 spot for Thursday's season opener against Toronto. Judge appeared in 16 spring games this year and slashed .256/.333/.395 with one home run and two RBI.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge was excluded from the lineup for the Yankees' Grapefruit League finale Monday against the Tigers due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports. "He's a little under the weather," Boone said, while downplaying Judge's illness.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's ailment isn't believed to affect his availability for Opening Day, with Boone noting that the outfielder is still scheduled to fly with the team to New York as the Yankees wrap up camp Monday. The Yankees haven't yet indicated how they plan to structure their starting lineup while Luke Voit (knee) begins the season on the injured list, but Judge will presumably slot into the No. 2 spot for Thursday's opener versus the Blue Jays. Judge batted second in all 16 of his starts this spring.
