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 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.

Aaron Judge Will Play For Team USA In 2026 World Baseball Classic
Aaron Judge announced on Monday that he will play for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic and will serve as a captain. "I wanted to be there... I was looking forward to this opportunity again," Judge said. While it might not be what fantasy managers prefer if they draft the 32-year-old slugger next spring, it doesn't affect anything fantasy related this year. The reigning American League MVP did not take part in the last World Baseball Classic while he was preoccupied with his free agency, but he'll now get a chance to represent his country in the WBC next year. Not only did Judge have an outstanding 2024 campaign with 58 homers, 144 RBI, 133 walks and a 1.159 OPS in 158 regular-season games, but he's off to a fantastic start in 2025 with a league-best six homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs, .478 on-base percentage and 1.228 OPS. Judge is a beast.

Aaron Judge Launches Long Ball No. 6 On Friday
Aaron Judge went 1-for-5 at the plate with a two-run shot during their 9-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday afternoon. Judge would tally his lone hit in the seventh inning of the contest when he took Tim Mayza deep on a two-run home run. This blast also scored first baseman Ben Rice. Judge has enjoyed an incredible start to the campaign, as he has gone deep six times through seven regular-season games. Judge enjoyed a career day on March 29 when he launched three long balls against the Milwaukee Brewers. Across this incredible start, Judge has tallied 17 RBI and holds an overall .379/.445/1.103 slash line. He has also been productive on the basepaths, swiping two bags. The 32-year-old remains a must-start option in all formats and a top play in DFS in any matchup. He will look to stay hot on Saturday, facing Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter.
