Goldschmidt has been tending to a bone bruise in his right knee recently, but he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt missed multiple games in August due to a right knee sprain, so his current bout with the bone bruise could be related. Testing on his knee came back clean, and the Yankees are confident the issue will be manageable, even though he was available off the bench only in an emergency during Saturday's 3-1 win. Goldschmidt appears to have fallen into a short-side platoon role at first base with Ben Rice, who has started eight of the last 11 games against right-handed pitchers.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will remain on the bench for the Yankees' third consecutive matchup with a right-handed pitcher while manager Aaron Boone goes with Ben Rice at first base. Rice should continue to draw the bulk of the starts at the position against righties, as Goldschmidt has produced a lowly .267 wOBA in those matchups for the season.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt had started in three of the Yankees' last four games -- twice against left-handers, once against a right-hander -- and went 5-for-13 with a pair of doubles during that stretch to bring his OPS up to .876 for August. Though he's performed well at the dish this month, Goldschmidt's season-long numbers versus right-handed pitching still leave much to be desired, so he may have to settle for a part-time role in those matchups. He'll cede first base to Ben Rice in the series finale while righty Cade Cavalli takes the hill for Washington.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. Though he's maintained a .795 OPS thus far in August, Goldschmidt is still slashing just .237/.279/.323 with a 21.7 percent strikeout rate in 322 plate appearances versus righties for the season.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt started three of the previous four contests and has an .823 OPS through 15 games in August, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's matchup with Boston. Ben Rice will handle first base while Austin Wells starts at catcher versus Red Sox righty Brayan Bello.

Goldschmidt (knee) is starting at first base and batting sixth Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt has been battling a knee sprain, but he'll return to the lineup for the first time since Tuesday. The veteran first baseman has a .716 OPS through 11 games in August, though he's gone just 3-for-24 outside of a three-hit performance Aug. 4 in Miami.

Goldschmidt isn't in the starting lineup against St. Louis on Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for the third straight game as he deals with a low-grade strain in his right knee. That said, he was able to appear as a defensive replacement at first base late Friday (though he didn't make a plate appearance), so he could be available off the bench again Saturday. Ben Rice is starting at first base in Goldschmidt's stead.

Goldschmidt (knee) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, Goldschmidt is dealing with a low-grade strain in his right knee, and that will keep the veteran out of the lineup for Friday's series opener. Cody Bellinger will serve as the Yankees' first baseman and bat in the cleanup spot while Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Jose Caballero man the outfield from left to right. An IL stint isn't expected for Goldschmidt, and he relayed that he should be available off the bench, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's loss to Minnesota that Goldschmidt was unavailable off the bench due to a right knee injury, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are still in the process of evaluating Goldschmidt's injury, but the club's skipper said there is a chance the veteran first baseman ends up on the injured list. If that happens, Ben Rice would presumably take over as New York's first baseman, and Austin Wells would reclaim the primary catcher role.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt had started each of the first two games of the series, but his playing time versus right-handers has been trending down in the second half. The Yankees will turn to Ben Rice at first base and Austin Wells at catcher.
