Judge is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Indians, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has just two hits over his last five starts (2-for-17), so he'll get the day off to clear his head. Clint Frazier is starting in his place in right field, batting second.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Friday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge blasted 33rd bomb of the season, as he was one of three Yankees to homer off Austin Pruitt to help the Yankees pick up a home victory. The rookie continues to carry fantasy teams with his amazing .308/.430/.644 slash line.

Judge chipped a tooth during the Yankees' walkoff celebration but will be available to play Friday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger was hit by an errant batting helmet during the Yankees' celebration of a Brett Gardner walkoff home run over the Rays, but the injury is not expected to force Judge to miss any time. Judge went 1-for-5 with a strikeout in his return to the lineup Thursday. Barring a change in Judge's status, he figures to draw into his usual No.3 spot in the lineup against Austin Pruitt and the Rays.

Judge is "a little banged up" according to manager Joe Girardi, but is expected to return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener against Tampa Bay, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Girardi also stated that Judge's day off is "nothing serious" although the right fielder did bang into the outfield wall during the eighth-inning of Tuesday's game while attempting to make a lunging play. The contact didn't appear to cause any harm and Judge stayed in the game, but adding that on top of five consecutive starts gave Girardi a good reason to give his star the day off. In his place, Clint Frazier draws the start in right while Jacoby Ellsbury slides into center.

Judge is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has started each of the past five games and is slashing just .171/.340/.317 since the All-Star break, so the team will give him a chance to clear his head for Wednesday's matinee. The recent regression in the rookie's overall numbers is to be partly expected after a monster first half of the season, but he should continue to be a top fantasy asset while he looks to build on his 32 home runs. Clint Frazier takes over right field in his stead.

Judge homered and drove in four runs in a 1-for-2 game with a walk Friday night against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Hopefully that will mark the end of a second half-opening slump from Judge, who was 4-for-29 since the break entering Friday's game. The fact that judge added productive plate appearances with a walk and sacrifice fly to his home run suggest he just might be seeing the ball well again.

Judge will sit Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the two-hit game Tuesday, Judge is only 3-for-25 since he competed in the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game, so Wednesday's off day will serve as a mental reset for the Bronx slugger. Clint Frazier is in line to get the start at right field in his wake.

Judge went 0-for-3 with an intentional walk Monday against the Twins, falling to 1-for-21 since the All-Star break. He added an outfield assist on the defensive side in the 4-2 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Judge nailed the speedy Brian Dozier at home with a brilliant throw from deep right field in the bottom of the third, then made a heads-up baserunning play going from first to third on a single in the top of the next half-inning. He looked much better in his final at-bat of the contest despite making an out, driving a long fly ball after nine pitches. The slumping rookie is still doing the little things right, and is simply too good not to turn things around before long.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Friday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Judge crushed his 30th homer of the season to erase a one-run deficit in the fifth inning of a home loss. His amazing rookie season shows no signs of slowing down, as he's slashing a ridiculous .330/.448/.701.

Judge hit his 28th homer and struck out in his other three at-bats in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
He brought home the Yankees' only run and is making a serious play for 30 homers before the All-Star break, but Judge has also now cleared 100 strikeouts for the season. Judge has been brutalizing the ball, but his .423 BABIP and 40.6 HR/FB are marks even a roided-out Barry Bonds couldn't sustain for a full season. Expect some second-half regression to more normal stats, but that doesn't mean Judge won't continue returning excellent value in fantasy.
