Judge went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The homer -- Judge's 11th of the year -- was a fifth-inning shot off Andrew Triggs. Judge has homered in back-to-back games and three of his last four. He's riding a six-game hitting streak, with 13 RBI over that span.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 10-5 loss to the A's.
EDGE Analysis
His fifth-inning blast to the opposite field off Kendall Graveman brought the Yankees to within a run at 5-4, but they never got any closer. Judge now has 10 homers on the year, including three in his last four games, and his .309/.439/.590 slash line through 38 games puts him ahead of his impressive rookie pace in both batting average and OBP.

Judge is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has been a staple of the Yankees' lineup, hitting .317 with seven homers in 27 games. He'll get his first day off of the season Monday though, allowing Giancarlo Stanton to pick up a start in right field while Gary Sanchez takes over as the designated hitter and Austin Romine logs a start behind the plate to fill the void in the lineup.

Judge went 3-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It's his second three-hit performance in five days, pushing Judge's slash line on the season to .330/.463/.608 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 24 runs in 26 games. The entire Yankees' offense is on fire at the moment, and with Judge stationed in the two-hole, he should continue to reap the rewards when it comes to counting stats even if his batting average begins to sag.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, two runs scored and one RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Judge continued his prolific production to start the season, hitting his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning. He has shown improvement in his strikeout rate early in his second full major league season, the only major flaw in his hitting profile last season. He is locked in as a contributor in all five traditional rotisserie categories and shows no signs of slowing down.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's homer was a two-out, two-run shot in the third inning off of Marcus Stroman. The slugger is starting the year by posting numbers even better than those which earned him a second-place finish in the AL MVP race last season, hitting .338/.472/.634 through 89 plate appearances. His .419 BABIP suggests things will cool off somewhat, though his ability to absolutely crush the ball lends itself to higher than average BABIPs, as his career figure stands at .356.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge provided a needed insurance run with his home run in the seventh inning off right-hander Tyler Clippard. He has shown no signs of slowing down in his second full season at the major-league level producing a 1.110 OPS in 62 at-bats. He remains an elite fantasy asset.

Judge went 2-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season, two RBI and two runs in the Yankees' 12-1 trouncing of the Marlins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's second-inning homer was his 60th in 197 career games, surpassing Mark McGwire (202 games) as the fastest player in MLB history to reach that milestone. Though big offseason pickup Giancarlo Stanton (.210/.310/.435 line through 71 plate appearances) hasn't met expectations thus far, the early-season performances of Judge and shortstop Didi Gregorius (five home runs) have continued to make the Yankees' heart of the order treacherous for opposing pitchers. In addition to supplying his usual pop, Judge has also reduced his strikeout rate from 30.7 to 23.9 percent, offering hope that last season's .284 average may be attainable once again.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in New York's 5-2 loss to the Orioles on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second-straight game with a long ball for the towering slugger after he went the first five games of the season without one. He's now hitting .280 with a .419 on base percentage in 25 at-bats and looks like could be gearing up for one of the patented hot streaks that made him one of the league's breakout stars last season.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
It was Judge's first homer of the season after leading the American League with 52 a year ago, and he was one of three Yankees to hit a two-run bomb Wednesday, joining fellow sluggers Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez. The 25-year-old, who is hitting .286/.444/.476 through six games this season, has now collected three hits and all three of his RBI in the previous two games.
