Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and two runs Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge launched his 18th blast of the year to put the Yankees on the board in the sixth inning of a divisional loss. He continues to be among the absolute elite fantasy options this year, as he's slashing .326/.431/.691.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a grand slam during Sunday's win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
This was just the third round tripper through the past 20 games for Judge, as he's beginning to cool off after his torrid early-season pace. However, he went 22-for-71 (.310 batting average) during that 20-game stretch to continue moving the fantasy needle. There are likely to be more peaks and valleys over the coming months, but Judge's playing time isn't in jeopardy at this point, so he should power his way out of any slumps in short order.

Judge is batting fifth and serving as the designated hitter for the first time this season Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
With Chris Carter getting the day off and Matt Holliday starting at first base, Judge moves to the DH spot for the first time in his career. The 25-year-old is hitting .351 with four home runs this month, so Saturday will only serve as another opportunity to build on his impressive campaign.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, walk, and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-6 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth inning home run hit three-quarters up the batter's eye in dead center field. It was his first home run since May 3, but he has still consistently gotten on base in spite of the week-and-a-half power drought. Judge now has a .316/.414/.754 slash line through six weeks of baseball. Keep him installed as a regular in your fantasy lineup.

Judge is not in the lineup Monday against the Reds, Pete Caldera of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge will take a seat for the first time in 18 games as Aaron Hicks draws the start in his place out in left field. The rookie has been sensational through 28 games this season, posting a triple slash of .317/.410/.772 while swatting 13 homers and knocking in 28 runs.

Judge went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, and a pair of walks in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The two blasts -- his 11th and 12th of the season -- now put the rookie solely in the lead in that department in all of baseball. Judge has been doing it all in the early going, as he's also hitting .313 and reaching base at an impressive .424 clip en route to amassing a league-leading 2.3 WAR. The 25-year-old may cool off a bit eventually, but there's no reason to believe the 6-foot-7, 282-pound right fielder won't be able to stay near the top of the league leaders in home runs throughout the course of the season.

Judge went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer, two walks and four runs in Saturday's victory over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Judge crushed his 10th homer of the season added an exclamation mark in the seventh inning of a lopsided Yankees victory. He's stayed hot for nearly an entire month, and it'd be nearly impossible to find a player in the American League who's crushed his draft value to this extent this young season. Although a slump is likely to occur at some point, he should be given an extremely long leash from fantasy owners when he starts to slow down a bit.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 14-11 extra-inning win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Both homers came off Kevin Gausman, giving Judge nine long balls on the season to go with a strong .282/.363/.718 slash line. He's still striking out at a scary 27.5 percent rate but the 25-year-old's .275 BABIP isn't out of line with his contact rate, so there may not be a major regression in his batting average coming. Judge's height and power stroke have drawn comparisons to Giancarlo Stanton, and so far the rookie is holding up his end of that bargain.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
With Luis Severino firing seven scoreless innings, Judge supplied all the offense the right-hander would need, hitting his seventh homer of the season in the second inning after Starlin Castro reached on an error and then walking and scoring in the sixth. Judge now has four home runs in his last seven games, hitting .321 (9-for-28) over that stretch with seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Judge with 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and two runs in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's sixth homer of the year came in the ninth inning of a game in which the Yankees were comfortably ahead. All of his six homers have come over his last 11 games, and he should be strongly considered for fantasy lineups as long as his power stroke continues to produce big numbers.
