Judge went 2-for-2 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 16-7 rout of the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Judge normally does most of his damage at Yankee Stadium, but he felt right at home at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park in Arlington. The hulking rookie is unlikely to catch up to league leader Giancarlo Stanton's 54 home runs, but his 41 long balls are good enough for sole possession of second in MLB. Judge has reached base in seven consecutive games while launching four homers in that stretch, suggesting he's finally heating back up at the plate after slumping ever since the All-Star break.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored during Thursday's win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the ninth long fly of the second half for Judge, and he entered Thursday's game with a disappointing .183/.350/.355 slash line since the All-Star break. While a bounce-back September is still within reach, it's probably wise to expect Judge to fall somewhere in between his two halves of the season moving forward.

Judge is starting in right field and hitting cleanup Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He has now hit fourth, sixth and second in his last three games, but the four hole is likely where he will slot in most days going forward. Judge is hitting .186/.352/.349 with three home runs and 38 strikeouts in his last 25 games.

Judge is starting in right field and hitting second Friday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He moves up to second in the order after sixth and fourth in the last two games. Judge gets the coveted spot in the order ahead of Gary Sanchez, who is red hot at the dish. The hulking right fielder is hitting just .179/.346/.344 since the All-Star break.

Judge is batting sixth in the order against the Red Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Judge finally falls in the lineup card while dealing with a prolonged slump and an ailing shoulder. The 25-year-old is hitting just .181/.342/.349 in the second half of this season, and manager Joe Girardi is looking for something to get him back on track. Judge will man right field for the series opener.

Judge (shoulder) is starting in right field and hitting cleanup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

He appeared as a pinch hitter and struck out in Game 1, and will get the start in the nightcap after being out of the lineup for the last three games with the sore shoulder. Judge is hitting .186/.346/.337 with three home runs and 39 strikeouts in 86 at-bats this month, but his ailing shoulder has likely played a part in those struggles.

Judge (shoulder) is out of the lineup Wednesday for the first game of the Yankees' doubleheader against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

After Tuesday's contest was postponed due to rain, manager Joe Girardi intimated that Judge, who has been nursing a sore left shoulder lately, would play in at least one contest of the twin bill, so it appears the Yankees will wait until Game 2 to insert the All-Star back into the starting nine. With Judge sitting out the afternoon affair, Jacoby Ellsbury will enter the lineup in center field and bat eighth.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Judge, who has been experiencing pain in his left shoulder in recent days, would "absolutely" play in one game of the team's doubleheader with the Indians on Wednesday, John Chandler of NBC 4 New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before Tuesday's game was postponed due to rain, Judge was set to remain on the bench for a second straight contest, as the Yankees' didn't list him in their starting nine, according to Erik Boland of Newsday. The rainout will offer Judge an additional day to recover from the shoulder issue, but it doesn't sound as though Girardi is keen on having the All-Star play both contests of the twin bill. Assuming Judge makes it through one of the games Wednesday without incident, he should take back a full-time role in the outfield or at designated hitter heading into the club's four-game series with the Red Sox beginning Thursday.

Judge has been receiving regular treatment on his left shoulder, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge has been seen around the Yankees clubhouse wearing ice wraps regularly in recent days. So are many players as we head into the home stretch, but this is Judge's first season facing the 162-game grind of the major leagues. Although Judge says the shoulder is fine, manager Joe Girardi indicated Judge is the kind of player who would gladly play through pain. The Yankees will hope a couple of days off to open this week will get him fully prepared for the season's final month.

Judge is expected to sit out Tuesday's game against the Indians, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Joe Girardi said that he hopes that giving Judge a couple days off will help the rookie slugger get back on track, as he's slashed a bleak .179/.341/.352 since the All-Star break. Judge is out of the lineup Monday, and is expected to sit out Tuesday as well. Until the Yankees opt to deploy Judge in their lineup again, expect Aaron Hicks to patrol right field.
