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.

Judge went 2-for-3 with his fifth homer, a walk and two runs against the White Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He's striking out about as much as advertised, but Judge is also drawing walks at a strong pace in the early going, and the big outfielder's power is real. Accept the batting-average risk and enjoy what could very well be a 30-homer rookie season.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Judge is locked in at the dish and sports an active 9-for-25 stretch with eight runs, four home runs and 10 RBI through his past seven games. However, he's also struck out eight times during that run, which is of slight concern after he fanned in 44.2 percent of his plate appearances last year. Still, he has huge power upside and should continue to see close to full-time at-bats going forward.

Judge is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger was given the day off Saturday after going hitless in his previous seven at-bats. He'll get back into the order for the series finale and bat seventh as the Yankees' right fielder. He'll face Adam Wainwright, who is 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA through two starts this season.

Judge is not in the Yankees' starting lineup for Saturday's matinee against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Judge has gone 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over the past two games, prompting manager Joe Girardi to give him a day off. The rookie had found his stroke before the recent power outage, mashing three home runs and racking up seven RBI over the past week. Aaron Hicks will fill the void in right field.
