Paul Goldschmidt - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Giving way to Rice versus RHP Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Though he batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-4 win while Houston started left-hander Framber Valdez, the right-handed-hitting Goldschmidt now finds himself on the bench for the third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Jason Alexander). The left-handed-hitting Ben Rice owns a 223-point edge over Goldschmidt in OPS versus right-handed pitching for the season, so Rice could continue to be prioritized at first base in those matchups.

Sitting Friday Goldschmidt isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Houston.

Impact Goldschmidt is on the bench for a second straight game, as Ben Rice fills in at first base. Goldschmit entered as a pinch hitter Wednesday and delivered a solo home run. The 37-year-old hasn't been out of the lineup in back-to-back games since June 21 and 22.

Homers again Wednesday Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win against Texas.

Impact Goldschmidt didn't start, as Ben Rice instead got a turn at first base. However, Goldschmidt was called upon to pinch hit in the seventh inning and came through with a solo shot to left field to provide what proved to be the winning run. The veteran slugger may be regaining his power stroke, as he has two homers and a double over his past three games spanning 10 plate appearances. Prior to that, Goldschmidt went without a long ball for 31 consecutive contests.

On bench for series finale Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Goldschmidt will get a breather after he went 3-for-8 with a solo home run, a double and three runs while picking up starts in the first two games of the series. Since the All-Star break, Goldschmidt is slashing just .224/.269/.347, and his struggles against right-handing pitching in particular throughout the season (66 wRC+ over 301 plate appearances) could eventually put him in danger of fading into a quasi-platoon with the left-handed-hitting Ben Rice, who will cover first base and bat second Wednesday.

Snaps homer drought Monday Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Impact Goldschmidt led off the game with a 419-foot blast to left field. The long ball was his first since June 19 -- a span of 31 games. Goldschmidt batted just .212 with only six RBI during the long power drought, but he's continued to hold down a near-everyday role at first base of late, starting seven of the Yankees' past eight games.

Hitting bench Sunday Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Ben Rice will get the nod at first base Sunday, but Goldschmidt had occupied the position in five of the past six matchups -- all against right-handed pitchers. Though Rice has been far more productive against righties among the two players this season, Goldschmidt's longer track record of success in the big leagues has at least temporarily prevented him from falling into a pure short-side platoon role. Goldschmidt is slashing just .200/.256/.250 with a 37.2 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break, however, and it's unclear how much patience manager Aaron Boone will exercise with the 37-year-old if he continues to languish.
