You're not hearing much about Aaron Judge's slow start any more. Not after a strong week, where he homered in four of his last five games and overtook teammate Juan Soto as the AL leader in OPS and on-base percentage. His 18 doubles pace the league; now tack on 17 home runs (one behind Houston's Kyle Tucker) and you can see why the Yanks are living up to their Bronx Bombers nickname again.
(Below:) As hot as Judge has been, that's how cold Victor Robles has been in '24. Actually, it's been several years of declining production for the Nats' onetime top prospect. With a batting average of .120 in the first two months of the season, Washington GM Mike Rizzo ran out of patience hoping for a turnaround. After he clears waivers, another club will likely take a chance on Robles, who hit 17 homers and stole 28 bases in DC's 2019 championship season.
The rest of this baseball season will be a little less fun with Ronald Acuna Junior on the shelf. The founder of the 40/70 club will miss the rest of 2024 with a torn ACL in his left knee. The shocking injury took place during Sunday's Braves/Pirates game and means a rehab for the 2024 NL MVP that will likely also cost him time next year.

(Below:) While the slow starts by veterans such as Carlos Santana and Byron Buxton have the Twins looking up at the Guardians in the AL Central race, it's been a productive year for Max Kepler. The only Minnesota regular hitting over .300, he's putting up good numbers at the right time -- he'll be a free agent next winter
