Aaron Judge News
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge finally got going in Wednesday's wild 6-5 extra-inning win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run during the fourth inning. Judge's jack gave the Yankees a temporary 2-1 lead, and he later doubled to deep right center to bring Gleyber Torres around for an insurance score in the 10th frame. Judge hit .125 across his opening 24 at-bats entering the game, so fantasy managers hope this performance gets the former American League MVP on track following his sluggish spring. New York next gets a three-game weekend series versus the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays that starts with Friday's home opener. In 2023, Judge crushed Toronto by batting .310 with six home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games against them.
As expected, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (abdomen, oblique) is back in center field on Wednesday and is hitting third in the team's Grapefruit League contest versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Judge's return to spring action had been pushed back a few days over the weekend, causing fans and fantasy managers to panic about his availability for Opening Day next week against the Houston Astros. But the Yankees and the 31-year-old All-Star continued to downplay the severity of his injuries, and fantasy managers should be able to relax a bit now that Judge is back in the starting lineup. The top-10 fantasy asset is a difference-maker at the plate when he's healthy, but it's fair to wonder how healthy he'll be in 2024 while having to start in center field for the first half of the season.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (abdomen, oblique) is likely to play in four of the team's final six Grapefruit League games. Judge was also expected to resume taking batting practice last Friday and return to spring training action on Sunday or Monday, but that didn't happen. Although fans and fantasy managers may be getting worried about Judge's Opening Day availability, especially after he missed over 50 games due to hip and toe injuries in 2023, both the Yankees and Judge continue to downplay his injuries this spring. Unless the 31-year-old former MVP doesn't return to Grapefruit League action at all this week, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Judge's status for the start of the 2024 regular season. When healthy, he is an elite fantasy baseball commodity.

A year after setting the AL home run record, Aaron Judge was a bit of a let-down in fantasy in 2023. That's down to a freak toe injury which limited the slugger to 106 games. Judge still had 37 homers, 75 RBI, 79 runs and three stolen bases along with a .267/.406/.613 slash line. That was a 162-game pace of 57 homers, 115 RBI, 121 runs and five steals. Everyone would've taken last year when drafting him. Judge would have also led the Majors in home runs if that was the case. Concerns about his health may be misguided. Judge missed a total of 19 games across the 2021 and 2022 seasons and as mentioned, it was a freak injury when crashing into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium that cost him eight weeks of the season. Only five teams scored fewer runs than the Yankees in 2023 and they looked to address that issue by acquiring Juan Soto this offseason. The toe injury is behind him and Judge will be entering Spring fully healthy, meaning there's no reason not to use a first-round draft pick on the Yankees Captain.
