Aaron Judge Stats

The New York Yankees and outfielder Aaron Judge avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $10.175 million deal. Judge won the 2017 American League Rookie of the Year in 2017, but suffered through his third injury plagued season in 2020, hitting .257 with nine home runs and 22 RBI in 101 at-bats over 28 games. He homered in his first five games but strained his calf and played just once between Aug. 11 and Sept. 16. The slugger was limited to 112 games in 2018 with a broken right wrist and 102 games in 2019 due to a strained oblique. The Yanks also reached deals with catcher Gary Sanchez ($6.35 million), first baseman Luke Voit ($4.7 million), third baseman Gio Urshela ($4.65 million), shortstop Gleyber Torres ($4 million), right-hander Chad Green ($2.15 million), left-hander Jordan Montgomery ($2.13 million) and outfielder Clint Frazier ($2.1 million).

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-5 against the Rays on Monday, including a well-hit home run that came off of his bat at 109.5 mph. Injuries held Judge to only 28 regular-season games this year, but he now has two home runs in three games this postseason and 11 home runs over 31 games for the year. Judge has been one of the leagues premier power hitters when healthy over the last few seasons with a .948 OPS and a 6.5% home run rate for his career, and fantasy managers should expect the 25-year-old to continue hitting well through the rest of the postseason.
