Sun Jun 29 | 18:17 | Aaron Judge Blasts Two Homers, Dealing With Back Issue |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (back) was reportedly dealing with back soreness heading into Sunday's game against the Athletics. It didn't seem to be bothering him too much as he produced a big game. Judge took right-hander Luis Severino deep in the fourth inning with a two-run shot. He would later hit another home run which would be his 30th of the season. Judge finished this game 2-for-4 with two homers, four RBI, three runs scored, and a walk in the win. He might serve as the DH for a few more games until his back is better, but that issue isn't going to slow him down at the plate. |

Tue Jun 24 | 02:11 | Aaron Judge Launches Homer No. 28 |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 road loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The superstar right-fielder was the Yanks' only source of offense on the day, as he put his team up early in the top of the first frame. However, that'd be the only lead they'd hold, with New York going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Judge -- and the Yankees' lineup as a whole, for that matter -- has cooled substantially since his torrid stretch earlier in the year. Still, he's batting .367 as we near July, and is second in the league with his 28 homers. It's another MVP-like season for the Fresno State product, despite hitting "just" .274 with a 1.007 OPS over 73 June at-bats. |

Fri Jun 20 | 23:58 | Aaron Judge Homers in Three-Hit Game |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge provided one of the club's few highlights in a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Judge took Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano deep for his 27th home run, a third-inning solo blast. He also singled twice, drew a walk, and struck out in a 3-for-4 night. It was the first multi-hit game since June 10 for Judge, who also broke six-game homer and RBI droughts. While the two-time AL MVP has cooled off of late, he's still slashing an otherworldly .371/.468/.739 with 61 RBI and 67 runs over 333 trips to the plate. However, he's an unsightly 4-for-19 with no extra-base hits, zero RBI, and 10:2 K:BB against the Orioles' Zach Eflin. The right-handed Eflin will start against Judge and the Yankees on Saturday. |

Fri Jun 13 | 23:27 | Aaron Judge Hits Mammoth Home Run in Loss |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge crushed his 26th home run of the season in a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Judge struck out in his first three at-bats against star southpaw Garrett Crochet, but he got a measure of revenge in the top of the ninth inning. With Boston leading 1-0 and Crochet two outs away from a complete-game shutout, Judge crushed a 443-footer over the Green Monster to tie the game. While Boston won in extra innings, Judge continues to tear it up. Now tied with Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh for the league lead in homers, Judge has put together a ridiculous .390/.485/.780 line with an AL-best 60 RBI in 303 trips to the plate. He'll face Red Sox righty Hunter Dobbins on Saturday. Judge took Dobbins yard in a meeting last weekend. |

Thu Jun 12 | 17:17 | Aaron Judge Out for First Time All Season |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is getting his first breather of the 2025 season in Thursday's series finale at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals. With Judge on the bench, Cody Bellinger will shift to right field and will hit cleanup against veteran right-hander Seth Lugo. Judge has been the best player in baseball this year, but everyone needs a break eventually. The 33-year-old two-time MVP and six-time All-Star is hitting an absurd .394/.490/.779 with a 1.269 OPS, 25 home runs, 59 RBI, 64 runs scored and six steals in 249 at-bats. He has also homered four times in his last three games. Expect to see him back in the lineup for Friday's series opener at Fenway Park against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Bellinger is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak (10-for-33 with a homer and four RBI) and has hit .286 with a homer and two RBI in seven career at-bats against Lugo. |

We're running out of things to say about Judge, who is now hitting .394 on the year with a 1.269 OPS with 25 home runs, which is one off the major-league lead of 26 ( Cal Raleigh). The 33-year-old slugger is in the 100th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, xISO and xOBP. |

The superstar slugger hit a monster two-run bomb off Royals' pitcher Noah Cameron in the top of the first inning, leaving the bat at 117.9 MPH and traveling 469 feet.

Judge is amid an incredible season at the plate, slashing a ludicrous .396/.491/.776 with 24 home runs, 17 doubles, 58 RBI, 63 runs scored, and five steals. Furthermore, he leads the league in virtually every expected statistic and quality of contact metric, and holds a walk rate (15.3%) in the top 4% of hitters. We're beginning to run thin on superlatives for him. |

Judge did all he could in this one, going 3-for-5 with four RBI, three runs scored and a walk to continue what has been another dominant season at the plate. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger now has 23 home runs on the year, which is tied for second in MLB with Shohei Ohtani and behind only Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (26). Believe it or not, the two long balls snapped a six-game homer drought for Judge, who is now hitting an absurd .396/.493/.771 with 55 RBI, 62 runs scored and five stolen bases in 64 games played. He leads major-league baseball in runs, hits, average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS and total bases. Judge is simply amazing. |

The two blasts were the only source of offense for this team that ended up losing 18-2 on Saturday. Judge finished the game 3-for-4 with two homers and two RBI in the loss. He's now slashing .398/.490/.778 with 20 homers, which is only one behind Cal Raleigh for the MLB lead in homers. |

Sat May 31 | 08:22 | Aaron Judge Blasts 19th Home Run in Loss |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-5 in the team's 8-5 loss to the Dodgers on Friday, blasting a solo home run in the first inning of the contest. It was his 19th of the year, now with 48 RBI, 52 runs scored, four steals, and a league-leading .392 batting average as well. Having yet another phenomenal season and battling it out with Shohei Ohtani for top fantasy scorer, managers who drafted the6x All-Star are happy with their selection so far. A consistent producer like the6-foot-7 slugger is a good play in DFS most nights, too, and he'll go up against Landon Knack on Saturday. Judge is 0-for-2 off of Knack in his career, but despite being a right-handed pitcher, Knack has reverse splits, allowing a .928 OPS to right-handed batters compared to a .681 OPS to lefties, so it could be another productive night for the two-time MVP. |

The fantasy stalwart's power binge continued on Saturday, as he launched long balls No. 13 and No. 14 on the season. Though he's slowed down in recent days, Judge is on an absolute tear at the dish. After hitting just one HR from Apr. 5 to Apr. 26, the 33-year-old has crushed an astonishing seven no-doubters in his last 12 appearances. He's come back to Earth slightly, hitting "only" .396 with a ludicrous 1.258 OPS. In 39 games this season, the superstar slugger has put together a multi-hit performance in 18 of them (60%). At this point, the superlatives to describe his excellence are running thin. |

Mon Apr 14 | 15:09 | Aaron Judge Will Play For Team USA In 2026 World Baseball Classic |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge announced on Monday that he will play for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic and will serve as a captain. "I wanted to be there... I was looking forward to this opportunity again," Judge said. While it might not be what fantasy managers prefer if they draft the 32-year-old slugger next spring, it doesn't affect anything fantasy related this year. The reigning American League MVP did not take part in the last World Baseball Classic while he was preoccupied with his free agency, but he'll now get a chance to represent his country in the WBC next year. Not only did Judge have an outstanding 2024 campaign with 58 homers, 144 RBI, 133 walks and a 1.159 OPS in 158 regular-season games, but he's off to a fantastic start in 2025 with a league-best six homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs, .478 on-base percentage and 1.228 OPS. Judge is a beast. |
