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 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. |

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge hit his major-league-leading 48th home run of the season in Thursday's 6-0 shutout win over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium.

His opposite-field shot off right-hander Gavin Williams in the fourth inning traveled 360 feet and came off the bat at 104.6 mph. The 32-year-old superstar is on pace to reach the 60-homer mark in 2024, which would be the second time in his career he's reached that lofty mark after eclipsing Roger Maris' single-season American League record with 62 homers in 2022. In his last 99 games since April 27, Judge has hit 44 home runs and driven in 105 runs. He's hit six long balls in his last seven games since Aug. 14 and has gone deep 13 times in 24 games since July 26. Judge is absolutely feasting right now at the plate. |

Wed Aug 21 | 21:58 | Aaron Judge Continues Tearing It Up |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge launched two more home runs in Wednesday night's blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Judge first belted a two-run homer off Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo to right-center field to extend the Yankees' lead to 4-0 in the third inning, then going to the opposite field for his second long ball of the game to give New York an 8-0 lead in the seventh frame of Wednesday's victory over Cleveland. The 32-year-old generational slugger still has Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. on his tail as it relates to the American League MVP race, but Judge has been simply otherworldly since his long-forgotten sluggish spring, batting .382 (120-for-314) with 39 homers, 95 RBI, and 82 runs scored in his last 89 games dating back to May 5. |

With Bobby Witt Jr. right on his heels, and the Yankees fighting to stave off the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, Judge has plenty of reasons to keep up his historic production. He'll look to continue his ridiculous season on Sunday against Blue Jays' scheduled starter Yariel Rodriguez. |

Sat Jul 27 | 02:35 | Aaron Judge Blasts 36th Home Run Friday |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge blasted his 36th home run Friday night in a crazy back-and-forth affair against the division rival Boston Red Sox. Judge's homer was of the three-run variety, which traveled 470 feet and gave the Yankees a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning. Unfortunately for the Bombers, the bullpen gave it away as the Yankees ended up with a 9-7 loss versus their arch-nemesis. Despite the three-run home run this evening, the Red Sox have been doing a heck of a job shutting down the former MVP this season. Judge has two home runs and a .207 batting average in 29 at-bats against Boston in 2024. Nonetheless, Judge continues to obliterate the baseball every single night he steps into the batter's box. Overall, the Yankees slugger is slashing .306/.437/.672 with 36 home runs, 92 RBI, 77 runs, and five stolen bases over 455 plate appearances. |

Mon Jul 22 | 02:20 | Aaron Judge Smacks League-Leading 35th Home Run |
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge smacked his league-leading 35th home run of the season and pitched in a single in a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday afternoon. The home run was of the three-run variety which puts his 2024 total at an absurd 89 RBI sitting here with about two and a half months left of the regular season. After a brutal first month of the season Judge looks like the MVP version of himself that set the American League home run record just two seasons ago. It's only been three games, but he's already off to a hot start in the second half with a 4-for-10 line with one home run and four RBI and three walks. Juan Soto's presence in the lineup has eased the offensive burden on Judge's shoulders this season and he should have no problem running away the American League MVP this season barring any injuries or major slumps. |

After only hitting a minuscule .207 with only six home runs and 17 RBI at the end of April, he's on pace to pass his career best in all three categories. There's not much else to say about the clear best player in the game right now. Judge has been worth every penny the Yankees spent and every first-round draft picks fantasy managers have invested. |

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his historic pace in Wednesday night's blowout Subway Series loss to the crosstown-rival New York Mets in Queens, becoming the first player in the major leagues to reach 30 home runs this year.

The 32-year-old superstar is matching the pace he set during his 2022 American League MVP campaign, slashing a video game-like .309/.433/.712 with 77 RBI, 23 doubles, 60 walks, and five stolen bases over 285 at-bats (80 games) for the Yankees in 2024. One can only imagine how much sillier Judge's numbers would be had he not gotten off to such a sluggish start in April. |
