Judge is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, Wallace Matthews of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees continue to manage Judge's playing time carefully during his first exposure to the majors. Though he hit his third homer of the season Tuesday, his .196 batting average and 24 strikeouts in 58 plate appearances suggest he's somewhat overmatched against big-league pitching. In his place, Aaron Hicks will start in right field.
