Aaron Judge Resting On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. It looks to be a normal day off for the clear leader of the American League MVP race this season. Make sure to move Judge to your benches on Wednesday. With Judge getting a breather, Matt Carpenter will move into right field and hit third in the batting order against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Carpenter will be a popular DFS play in the three-hole for the Yanks, as he's hitting .321/.433/.795 with a 1.227 OPS, 15 home runs, 36 RBI and 28 runs scored in 112 at-bats for the Yankees this year.

Aaron Judge Sitting Vs. Reds On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Graham Ashcraft and the Cincinnati Reds. Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and Joey Gallo will be covering the outfield for the game. Judge struggled a bit during the team's four-game series against the Boston Red Sox this past weekend. He sat out one of the games due to lower body soreness and wound up going just 3-for-15 with a double, a walk and six strikeouts over the other three games. Tuesday's day off will give him another day of rest following the Yankees' off day on Monday. Expect to see him back in the lineup Wednesday.

Aaron Judge Dealing With Lower Body Soreness

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) isn't in the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox because he's "been dealing with some kind of lower body soreness thing." The Bergen Record's Pete Caldera is reporting that Boone said that Judge will probably be available as a pinch-hitter, signaling that his injury isn't a serious one. Judge had been in a slump recently but had three hits, including a grand slam, on Wednesday to break out of it. The 30-year-old slugger has been outstanding this year and remains a must-start when he's in the lineup in fantasy. Aaron Hicks is in center field and batting sixth against Red Sox right-hander Josh Winckowski on Thursday. Hicks has been pretty disappointing this year, but he is 5-for-13 (.385) with a homer and six RBI in five games over the last week of play.

Judge initially requested $21 million for this year, while the Yankees countered at $17 million. On the field, the 30-year-old slugger is the easy favorite for American League MVP, as he's currently hitting .301/.380/.647 with a 1.026 OPS, a league-leading 25 home runs, a league-leading 55 runs scored, 50 RBI and five stolen bases in 65 games for the Yanks.
