Judge (shoulder) played five innings in right field and went 0-for-1 with a walk Friday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

As planned, Judge received his first spring reps in right field Friday. Judge is going to be rehabbing his shoulder until Opening Day, so his early exit from the game was a precautionary measure to allow the slugger to rest his ailment. Moving forward, the Yankees will likely have judge continue spending time in the outfield while also using him as their designated hitter for the rest of spring training.

It was recently reported that Judge's shoulder wasn't expected to be fully healthy until Opening Day. Despite this, he'll still see playing time over the course of the spring, although the team will surely be careful not to rush him back to action.

EDGE Analysis

All signs pointed to Judge having returned to health after it was announced he'd play in his first spring training game Wednesday, but the 25-year-old slugger says differently. He stated his shoulder will be "a work in progress until Opening Day" and that he isn't feeling completely healthy just yet. Judge is expected to be eased back into the swing of things during camp. He also offered up that part of the recovery process is mental and he's continuing to work on trusting his repaired left shoulder.

EDGE Analysis

In an expected move, manager Aaron Boone said that the team will hold Judge out for the beginning of the spring season while he eases back into the swing of things following arthroscopic surgery in November. The outfielder was able to partake in batting practice earlier this week and appears to be fully healthy, but you can't blame the Yankees for exhibiting extreme caution with their superstar. Expect him to ramp up his activity throughout the course of the spring.

Judge (shoulder) is scheduled to take full batting practice Monday in the Yankees' first full-squad workout of spring training, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Judge's involvement in batting practice is a good sign that the Yankees aren't worried about his left shoulder, which required arthroscopic surgery in November to remove a bone spur. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has suggested the team plans to ease Judge back into action, so he could be help out of the early portion of New York's Grapefruit League schedule before ramping up his at-bats in the week or two leading up to Opening Day.

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.
