Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Judge had a relatively quiet game by his standards, but he did reach a personal milestone with his 10th theft of the campaign. It's just the second time in nine big-league seasons that the slugger has reached that mark. Judge's career high in stolen bases in a campaign is 16, which he established in 2022 during the season in which he also set an American League record with 62 home runs.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, four RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Judge plated all four of his runs in the first two innings with a double in the first and a single in the second to give him his second four-RBI effort in his last four games and fifth such game of the year. Judge is now up to 136 RBI for the season, which is 26 more than anyone else in the league (Shohei Ohtani follows him with 110). Judge seems destined for another MVP season with a slash line of .323/.456/.692 with 53 homers, 113 runs, nine steals and a 123:160 BB:K in 664 plate appearances. Judges 123 walks currently lead baseball as well, as he's got two more than teammate Juan Soto.

Judge went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After going 16 games without a homer, Judge has now hit two over the past three games to reach 53 on the season. Judge also added his ninth stolen base, marking the second time this year he's gone yard and swiped a bag in the same game. While he's fallen off the pace to reach 60 home runs, all it will take is one of his patented hot streaks to challenge that threshold for the second time in his career. Through 148 games, Judge is slashing .321/.453/.687 with 53 homers, 132 RBI, 112 runs, nine steals and 122 walks across 659 plate appearances.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Friday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was stuck in the longest power slump of his career, going 16 straight games since his last homer Aug. 25. He finally broke out of it with a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning. It was his 52nd home run of the year and 18th since the All-Star break. Despite the recent slump, Judge is slashing .321/.455/.688 with 130 RBI and 86 extra-base hits through 146 games.

Judge went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 win against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
That's 11 straight contests without a long ball for Judge, who slugged seven homers in six games prior to the sudden power outage. The 11-game homerless stretch is the longest of the campaign for the star outfielder and has stalled his pursuit of a second career 60-homer season, though his ability to get hot and tally long balls in bunches puts the accomplishment still within reach. Judge has struggled as a whole during the power drought, slashing .175/.327/.250 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate, though he does have three doubles, three RBI and two stolen bases.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's recent power binge is impressive by even his standards -- he's gone deep 10 times over his last 13 contests. In that span, he's batting .426 (20-for-47) with 17 RBI and 13 runs scored. With Sunday's impressive effort, Judge is up to 51 homers this year, crossing the half-century mark for the third time in his career. He's added a magnificent .333/.465/.736 slash line, an MLB-best 122 RBI, 104 runs scored, 30 doubles and six stolen bases over 129 contests.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a 3-0 win against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Judge went deep off Kyle Freeland in the sixth inning to extend his streak of games with at least one long ball to four. The slugger is now one homer shy of reaching 50 for the third time in his career -- he'll be the fifth player in MLB history to accomplish that feat, joining Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez. Judge is on pace for 62 home runs this season, which would tie the AL record he established in 2022.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Thursday in a 6-0 win against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Judge kicked off the scoring for New York with a solo blast in the fourth frame. He's gone deep four times in his past three contests and seven times over his past 10 games to push his total to 48 home runs on the season. As a testament to the slugger's ferocity at the plate, Cleveland walked him with one out and the runners on the corners in the fifth inning, electing to load the bases rather than give him a chance to hit despite being down 1-0 at the time. That type of treatment could become even more common down the stretch as opponents look to cement playoff berths and postseason positioning. As it is, Judge ranks second in MLB with 104 walks -- including a league-leading 16 free passes -- on the season.

Judge went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The AL MVP candidate launched a two-run homer off Joey Cantillo in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Eli Morgan in the seventh. Judge is surging again, going yard six times in the last nine games while slashing an absurd .471/.561/1.118 with 12 RBI, and with 47 long balls through 125 games on the season, he's on pace to reach 60 homers for the second time in his career.

Judge went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Judge went back-to-back with Juan Soto off Matthew Boyd in the first inning and then added a two-run double in the 12th frame. The 32-year-old continues to crush the ball in August, hitting safely in nine of his past 10 games with six multi-hit efforts and four home runs. He extended his league lead in long balls over Shohei Ohtani to six and owns a .332 average, 114 RBI and 97 runs scored across 556 plate appearances.
