Judge will take it easy during the first couple weeks of spring training after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder in November, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The club is expectedly trying to be super cautious with their star outfielder in order to make sure that he's fully healthy heading into the beginning of the season. At this point, it's clear that Judge has recovered from the offseason surgery, but the Yankees don't want him to risk pushing it too hard during meaningless spring games.

Judge underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and the good news is Judge is expected to be ready prior to the start of spring training. The slugging outfielder dealt with some shoulder issues during the second half of last season, and while he tried to downplay the issue, it likely contributed to his drop-off in production after the All-Star break. He still posted an impressive .284/.422/.627 line with 52 homers, 114 RBI and nine stolen bases in 155 games for the Yankees. A fully healthy Judge should be poised for another big year at the plate in 2018.

Judge is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Over the last seven games, Judge has hit six home runs and accumulated 12 RBI. He'll get the day off so that he can be well-rested headed into Tuesday's wild-card game versus the Twins. Tyler Austin will head to right field in his place.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

After a disappointing month-and-a-half stretch to begin the second half, Judge has caught fire in September. He's up to 14 homers, 30 RBI and 27 runs with a .310/.460/.893 for the month. It's been a monster campaign for the rookie, and it's especially encouraging that he's locked in at the dish heading into the postseason when the stakes are highest.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a walk and three RBI in Monday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Judge's remarkable season continues; his third and seventh-inning long balls -- his 49th and 50th on the season -- tied and broke Mark McGwire's rookie record set back in 1987, and he's now homered against every American League team. The 25-year-old has fully shaken off his second-half slump and is in the midst of his best stretch of the season -- Monday marked Judge's fourth two-homer game in his last 14 contests, a stretch over which he's hitting a healthy .395 with 11 homers and 21 RBI.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The homers were number 47 and 48, leaving Judge just one shy of tying the rookie mark in that department. With a .296 average and 11 homers in September, it appears that Judge has fully shrugged off his second-half slump and will now get to play all seven remaining games at home in the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium.

Judge went 2-for-2 with a double, a homer and two walks Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Judge blasted his 46th homer of the season to give the Yankees a short-lived lead in the first inning of a road defeat. After hitting just three homers in the month of August, he's come back with a vengeance with a red-hot September and he's resembled the fantasy superstar that took the league by storm earlier in the season.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

His opposite-field shot off Bartolo Colon pushed Judge's home-run total to 45 on the season, and a sac fly later in the game pushed him over 100 RBI. As Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal points out, Judge is the first player in history with 45 homers, 100 RBI and 100 runs scored in their rookie season. After a prolonged lull coming out of the All-Star break, Judge has found his form again -- he has eight homers and an OPS over 1.000 in the month of September.

Judge went 3-for-6 with two home runs, six RBI and three runs during Thursday's win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Don't look now, but Judge has six homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs through his past 10 games. He was never going to maintain his first-half pace, so while his lengthy slump to start the second half was discouraging, it shouldn't have been shocking. A strong September will position Judge among the top fantasy hitters, and at just 25, he still has his prime years ahead.

Judge is out of the lineup against the Rays on Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge will occupy a seat on the bench following six straight starts, going 4-for-20 (.200 average) with three home runs and five RBI at the plate during that span. In his place, Clint Frazier draws the assignment in right.
