New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was seemingly unstoppable at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The superstar went 3-for-3 at the plate which included a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning. Judge also doubled and walked in this game as he continues his red-hot start to the season. He's posting video game numbers with a .409/.519/.803 slash line with seven homers and 21 RBI and we're not even to Easter yet. Judge seems like he wants his name to be in the MVP conversation again as he's showing no signs of slowing down.

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.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-5 at the plate with a two-run shot during their 9-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday afternoon. Judge would tally his lone hit in the seventh inning of the contest when he took Tim Mayza deep on a two-run home run. This blast also scored first baseman Ben Rice. Judge has enjoyed an incredible start to the campaign, as he has gone deep six times through seven regular-season games. Judge enjoyed a career day on March 29 when he launched three long balls against the Milwaukee Brewers. Across this incredible start, Judge has tallied 17 RBI and holds an overall .379/.445/1.103 slash line. He has also been productive on the basepaths, swiping two bags. The 32-year-old remains a must-start option in all formats and a top play in DFS in any matchup. He will look to stay hot on Saturday, facing Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge turned in another big game in a 9-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Judge went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two runs, and four RBI in helping power the Yankees to the win. The veteran reached 500 extra-base hits for his career with a three-run homer in the first inning. Overall, Judge is off to a red-hot start, hitting .417 with three doubles, five homers, and 15 RBI thus far. He needs to remain locked into fantasy lineups moving forward.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his torrid stretch at the plate, hitting a two-run home run and drawing three walks in a 12-3 win over the Brewers. This is right on the heels of a three-homer performance on Saturday, and he's now slashing .545/.643/1.818 through three games. He was already known to be one of the best hitters in baseball, but he is still managing to blow everyone's expectations out of the water. He is battling with a select few other players to be the first overall pick in 2026 fantasy drafts.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge put together a legendary performance during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The superstar slugger went 4-for-6 with three home runs and eight RBI in the blowout victory. Yes, you're reading that correctly. Judge crushed three bombs and notched early double digit RBIs in a truly epic performance. The righty slugger nearly hit a fourth homer, but sadly he came up a few feet shy. Regardless, it was an awesome day at the plate for Judge as he sent both Yankees fans and fantasy managers home happy on Saturday. Judge is obviously a must-start player in every fantasy format.

The New York Post's Greg Joyce reports that New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is set to make his Grapefruit League debut this Saturday, March 1, against the Houston Astros. Nothing is wrong with Judge physically, but the Yankees wanted to give him a little extra rest after the team's World Series run last fall. Manager Aaron Boone said on Wednesday that he plans to hit Judge in the No. 2 spot in the lineup this year now that Juan Soto is playing for the New York Mets. The 32-year-old two-time MVP will also be moving from center field back to right field, which will be less stressful from a physical standpoint. Judge is firmly in play for a top-three overall fantasy selection in drafts this spring after leading the league in WAR (10.8), homers (58), RBI (144), walks (133), on-base percentage (.458), slugging percentage (.701), OPS (1.159) and total bases (392) in 158 regular-season games in 2024.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Foul Territory on Wednesday that he's planning to return outfielder Aaron Judge to the No. 2 spot in the lineup this year. Boone explains that it makes sense with the Yankees' lineup being left-handed heavy, especially with outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) currently sidelined. The skipper said that infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and outfielder Cody Bellinger are candidates to hit in the three-hole, although it could be someone else with a left-hander on the mound. Judge hit in the No. 3 spot last year with Juan Soto in the two-hole, but now that Soto is out of town, Judge will return to second in the batting order in the Bronx. Chisholm or young outfielder Jasson Dominguez are the primary options to hit leadoff. Judge won the American League MVP in 2024 and is a top-five fantasy asset.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Austin Wells will be held out of Grapefruit League games until around March 1, according to manager Aaron Boone. "He played 150, 160 games last year. I don't want to rush him," Boone said. The Yankees are just giving the 32-year-old MVP a little extra time off his feet after he played in 172 total games between the regular season and playoffs last year. With Juan Soto now playing for the Mets, Judge won't have as much protection in the lineup in 2025 and will also be moving back to right field, which won't be as taxing physically. Judge got off to a slow start early on last year but eventually found his footing to finish with a .322/.458/.701 slash line, 1.159 OPS, a league-leading 58 home runs and a league-leading 144 RBI in 158 regular-season games. He's a no-doubt top-three fantasy pick this year.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge said he's open to playing in next year's World Baseball Classic, which would be his first time participating in the event. "I think that'd be pretty fun. It'd be cool to represent your country. [Team USA] made it to the finals, but they didn't win it. So we gotta win it. We'll see," Judge said. It's probably not what fantasy managers will want to see, but the six-time All-Star, two-time MVP and former American League Rookie of the Year will still most likely be one of the top fantasy options on the board next spring. Judge led the league in WAR (10.8), home runs (58), RBI (144), walks (133), on-base percentage (.458), slugging percentage (.701), OPS (1.159) and total bases (392) in 158 games for the Yankees in 2024 and is in play for the first overall fantasy pick in drafts this spring, even while losing protection in the lineup in the form of Juan Soto.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on Monday at the MLB winter meetings that it "makes sense" to move outfielder Aaron Judge back to right field in 2025 after failing to re-sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto in free agency. And with Judge likely going back to right field, outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is a leading candidate for starting center-field duties. The 32-year-old Judge's outfield positioning likely won't matter to most fantasy managers. A toe injury in 2023 limited the power-hitter to only 37 long balls and 75 RBI in 106 games, but the six-time All-Star bounced back in a big way in 2024 to win his second MVP award by leading the league in homers (58), RBI (144), walks (133), on-base percentage (.458), slugging (.701), OPS (1.159) and total bases (392). RBI opportunities might not be as plentiful with Soto now in Queens, but otherwise Judge is an elite class of power.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was named the 2024 American League Most Valuable Player on Thursday night after receiving all 30 first-place votes for the award. It's Judge's second career MVP award as he beat out the Kansas City Royals' Bobby Witt Jr. and teammate Juan Soto. The honor was well-earned, as Judge led the majors in home runs (58), RBI (144), OPS (1.159) and wins above replacement (11.2) this year while spending most of his time in center field in the Bronx. He also led the Yankees back to the World Series, although they fell short against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Judge's 223 adjusted OPS was the highest for a right-handed hitter since 1900, according to ESPN research. He becomes the seventh Yankees player to win multiple MVPs, joining Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Alex Rodriguez and Roger Maris.

Major League Baseball announced the 2024 American League Silver Slugger winners on Tuesday on MLB Network. The winners in the AL were Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Astros 2B Jose Altuve, Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr., Guardians 3B Jose Ramirez, Yankees OF Aaron Judge, Yankees OF Juan Soto, Orioles OF Anthony Santander, Royals catcher Salvador Perez, A's DH Brent Rooker and Rangers UTIL Josh Smith. It's the fourth time that Judge has won an AL Silver Slugger award in his career, this time coming two years after he set a new AL record with 62 home runs. He only had 58 long balls in 2024 but also posted career-highs in on-base percentage (.458) and slugging percentage (.701). The 32-year-old superstar's 1.159 OPS was the best from a qualified AL hitter since Mark McGwire back in 1996 when he was with the A's.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with two walks and two RBI in their series-clinching loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Judge opening the scoring with a two-run shot in the first inning which also scored outfielder Juan Soto. This was his first round-tripper of the World Series and only third of the postseason. Later in the eighth inning, Judge hit a double to left field. Judge finished his postseason run with an underwhelming .184/.344/.408 slash line with just five extra-base hits and a 11:20 BB:K ratio.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a two-run home run, tallying three RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Guardians in Game 2 of the ALCS. It was Judge's first home run of the 2024 postseason after belting 58 during the regular season. The Yankees have been able to go 5-1 through six playoff games despite the 32-year-old going 3-for-18 (.167) thus far. The 6x All-Star has managed to collect six walks as well though, which has led to a solid .346 OBP. We'll see if Tuesday's long ball gets his bat going again, with his next opportunity to come in Game 3 in Cleveland on Thursday, likely facing LHP Matthew Boyd who Judge is 2-for-6 with a home run, five walks, and zero strikeouts against in his career.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will head to the bench on Friday in the series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Yankee Stadium a day after the team clinched the American League West title with a decisive win over the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. In that contest, Judge hit a home run for the fifth straight game. Trent Grisham will start in center field on Friday and will bat seventh against Pirates rookie right-hander Jared Jones. Judge is having another fantastic season in 2024 and currently leads the AL in home runs (58), RBI (144), walks (133), on-base percentage (.461), slugging percentage (.708), OPS (1.169), OPS+ (226) and total bases (392) in 157 games played. His .325 batting average (180-for-554) is third in the AL, so he still has a shot to win the AL Triple Crown with only three games remaining in the 2024 season.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his scorching stretch at the plate on Thursday, homering in his fifth consecutive game on the way to a 10-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Judge finished the day 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, and two RBI. After a "cold" stretch in late August and early September, Judge has returned to form with seven homers and 18 RBI in his last 12 games. He now has 58 dingers on the year and will look for his second 60-homer season over the final weekend.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk and a go-ahead grand slam in Friday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox. The blast came in the seventh inning with the Yankees down 4-1 but would give them a one-run lead that they would not relinquish. It also snapped a 16-game homerless drought for the 32-year-old and gave him 52 long-balls on the year. It has, of course, been an incredible season for the veteran slugger, now with a .321-52-130-111-8 line with an astronomical .470 wOBA and 213 wRC+.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge blasted two more homers on Sunday, bringing his total to 51 on the season. There are no words to describe this man at this point, as he has a truly unbelievable 1.202 OPS and is carrying fantasy managers to the playoffs by himself. The 32-year-old has an OPS of 1.106 or higher and at least eight homers in every month since May. We could sit here and run off insane stats all night, or just sit back and appreciate greatness. He is the clear first pick in fantasy next year.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his power surge on Friday night as he smacked a solo shot for his 49th homer on the season in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Colorado Rockies. The solo shot off of Rockies' starter Kyle Freeland was Judge's only hit on the day as he went 1-4. The AL MVP favorite now has a 1.192 OPS and has a homer in four straight games. He's on pace to finish with 62 HR on the season, which would tie his career high that was set in 2022. With the Yankees fighting to stay in front of the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, every one of Judge's blasts have been vital to New York's success. It goes without saying but Judge should be a must start in all fantasy formats and DFS managers need to find a way to have him in their lineups at all costs.
