Judge went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Judge came through with a clutch, game-winning home run in the top of the ninth inning. It was his second long ball of the season, and his second in as many games. While he's striking out at a 36 percent clip, Judge has flashed his ability for power production early on this season.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI while scoring three times in Wednesday's win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Judge blasted a 386-foot homer to left field in the third inning to stake New York to a 3-1 lead. He added a run-scoring single in the sixth inning and also reached base via catcher's interference and on a hit-by-pitch. The big game was a nice turnaround for Judge after he went 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his previous two games.

Judge hit a pair of home runs Sunday in the Yankees' 6-0 exhibition victory over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Though he missed all of spring training with a fractured rib and four days of summer camp with a stiff neck, Judge looks like he'll be ready to go for Thursday's season opener versus the Nationals. The outfielder returned to the intrasquad lineup last Wednesday and hit a home run in that contest before adding two more long balls to his ledger Sunday. Judge's health remains a valid concern after he missed at least 50 games in both of the past two seasons, but his fantasy managers can at least install him in their lineups with some level of confidence to begin the 2020 campaign.

Judge (neck) homered in an intrasquad game Wednesday and is expected to be good to go for Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge sat out the team's previous three intrasquad contests while dealing with a stiff neck, but he was able to play right field in Wednesday's contest. The slugger homered off James Paxton in the first inning and worked a walk against Paxton his second time up. Manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence that Judge has practiced enough to be ready for Opening Day, with the Yankees set to face the Nationals on July 23.

Judge (neck) will play in Wednesday's intrasquad game, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge had been dealing with a stiff neck since Saturday. The issue wasn't considered serious, though it remains to be seen whether or not he can get up to full speed with the Yankees' first game of the season just eight days away.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge is feeling "much better today," Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was absent from the lineup for Tuesday's intrasquad game, but he was in the outfield shagging balls in batting practice after the game. Judge also participated in batting practice earlier Tuesday, so he appears to be nearing his return from the bout of neck stiffness that has limited him over the past few days.

Judge (neck) is not in the lineup for the Yankees' intrasquad game Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge showed up to camp healthy after recovering from a fractured rib that dated back to the end of last season, but he's been dealing with a stiff neck over the last few days. He was able to take batting practice Tuesday, a good sign for his Opening Day availability, but he'll wait at least one more day before returning to game action.
