Judge will sit Friday against the Rangers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge will get a breather as the Yankees get ready for postseason action next week. He's hitting just .233 in September, but his .918 OPS this month is slightly above his season mark of .912. Cameron Maybin will start in right field Friday.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over Toronto on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Judge got the Yankees on the board with a 420-foot shot to center field in the first inning. The homer was his fourth in the last six games and seventh overall in September. Despite missing two months of the season with an oblique injury, Judge has a legitimate shot to reach 30 homers this season, though he'll need a big final week to achieve the milestone. He has launched 26 homers in 364 at-bats in 2019 while collecting 54 RBI and crossing the plate 73 times.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and walk during a 4-3 loss against the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old smashed a towering fly ball for his 25th homer of the season. That total and some of his other numbers are a little disappointing but injuries have been the major reason for the low output this year. Judge is batting .272 with 25 home runs, 53 RBI, 70 runs and three steals in 356 at-bats this year.

Judge (shoulder) will serve as the designated hitter and bat second Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge was out of the lineup for the series finale against the Angels after landing on his shoulder while making a diving catch Wednesday, but the Yankees said the decision to hold him out was precautionary. While he will not return to the field Friday, Judge will be able to DH and should be available for the entire weekend series. The 27-year-old is batting .204/.338/.500 so far in September.

Judge is out of Thursday's lineup as a precaution following him landing on his shoulder during a diving catch Wednesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will not be sent for tests, so it sounds like Judge should be back in Friday's lineup after this rest day. Manager Aaron Boone informed Judge on Wednesday night that he would not be in Thursday's lineup. Clint Frazier is starting in right field in his place.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Judge accounted for both Yankees runs with a long ball to right field in the third inning. The slugger is hitting only .204 in September, though five of his 11 hits have left the yard. It is frightening to think how good Judge could be if he ever learns to reduce his massive whiff total; he owns a .353 BABIP and has posted a 14.7 AB/HR but has struck out in 30.8 percent of his plate appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis
Judge got the Yankees on the board in the first inning with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was his fourth in 46 at-bats this month and his 14th overall since the All-Star break. Judge is slashing .272/.384/.519 with 23 homers and 50 RBI in 93 games this season.

Judge's day off Friday is unrelated to his collision with the outfield wall during Thursday's doubleheader against Detroit, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge slammed hard against the right-field wall while making a catch in Game 2 of the twin bill and appeared to be limping while coming off the field, but manager Aaron Boone indicated before Friday's game that Judge's knee is fine and that the decision to rest him was a consequence of the slugger playing all 18 innings Thursday. Judge himself brushed off the collision, quipping "Did you ask the wall?" when prompted with a question about his knee following the doubleheader, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
