Fantasy Impact:

Judge started in a intrasquad game and swung without any pain last week. He continues to recover from a fractured rib and a punctured lung. Judge is making significant progress and is expected to be ready by Opening Day. The 28-year-old slashed .272/.382/.540 with 27 homers, 55 RBI, 75 runs and three stolen bases across 446 plate appearances in 2019. Judge is currently 19th among all outfielders in the latest expert consensus rankings, but that number could rise with the latest news.
