Aaron Judge Smacks League-Leading 35th Home Run
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.

Aaron Judge Blasts Two More Homers
Aaron Judge went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in his team's 11-7 loss to the Athletics. The fantasy stalwart's power binge continued on Saturday, as he launched long balls No. 13 and No. 14 on the season. Though he's slowed down in recent days, Judge is on an absolute tear at the dish. After hitting just one HR from Apr. 5 to Apr. 26, the 33-year-old has crushed an astonishing seven no-doubters in his last 12 appearances. He's come back to Earth slightly, hitting "only" .396 with a ludicrous 1.258 OPS. In 39 games this season, the superstar slugger has put together a multi-hit performance in 18 of them (60%). At this point, the superlatives to describe his excellence are running thin.

Aaron Judge Blasts 11th Homer
Aaron Judge is on another planet at the plate right now. The reigning MVP crushed a homer off right-hander Zack Littell, which was his fourth in the last seven games. He would later single in the contest as well, which pushed Judge's multiple-hit streak to six games. Yes, you're reading that correctly, Judge has recorded two hits or more in six straight games. The right-handed slugger is hitting .432 on the season, which actually might be better than video game numbers. Judge has 11 home runs on the season and extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his performance on Saturday.

Aaron Judge Homers In Three-Hit Game
Aaron Judge went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one run, and one walk in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday. He continues to show why he is the best hitter in baseball, and his .427/.521/.761 slash line is almost unbelievable. This was his fourth straight multi-hit game and his third home run over that span. Judge could potentially make a run at the triple crown this season and is making his case to be the first overall pick of 2026 fantasy drafts.

Aaron Judge Tallies Four Hits On Tuesday
Aaron Judge went 4-for-4 with a double, a run, and a stolen base during their 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday evening. Judge would hit his double in the sixth inning and would score on a Paul Goldschmidt sacrifice fly. He would tally his third single of the game in the eighth inning and then proceed to swipe second base, but could not cross home plate a second time. This extended Judge's current hitting streak to four games. Over his previous 11 contests, the 32-year-old has only gone hitless once and posted an impressive .488/.571/.659 slash line with four doubles and one long ball. Through 24 games, Judge has gone deep seven times and holds an impressive .411 AVG. He remains a top option in DFS and a must-start option in all formats.
