Goodwin will platoon with Justin Upton in left field while Jo Adell takes on an everyday role in right, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels have made it clear that they want Adell to get regular playing time now that he has reached the big leagues, leaving Goodwin and Upton to split left-field duties. Goodwin figures to receive the bulk of starts against right-handed starters, and his overall slash line this season (.303/.395/.606) is far superior to Upton's (.135/.195/.297). True to form, Goodwin started against righty Justin Dunn on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base while scoring one run.

Goodwin went 2-for-3 with a homer, three RBI, a run scored and two walks in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin went yard with a two-run homer in the fourth inning. He added an RBI triple in the eighth to bring the Angels within two runs. Goodwin has posted three straight multi-hit efforts -- the outfielder is 6-for-11 with two homers, six RBI and three runs scored in that span. Overall, he's batting .450/.522/.950 in six games as the Angels' primary option in right field.

Goodwin is starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, batting second and playing centerfield.
EDGE Analysis
With Mike Trout placed on the paternity list Thursday, Goodwin will get his first opportunity to start against a left-hander on the young season. Goodwin has gotten off to a nice start thus far in 2020, logging five hits and a walk in 14 plate appearances. The outfielder will look to stay hot against Marco Gonzales on Thursday.

Goodwin went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in a loss to Seattle on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Batting out of the ninth spot in the lineup, Goodwin sparked the Angels' offense with a solo homer in the fifth inning and a two-run double in the sixth. The 29-year-old is off to a strong start to the 2020 campaign, going 5-for-13 with four RBI through his first four games.

Goodwin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old started three of the first four games of the season but is heading to the bench for the second time with a southpaw (Justus Sheffield) taking the mound for the Mariners. Goodwin has had a solid start to 2020 and is 3-for-9 with two runs scored, one RBI and one walk. Taylor Ward is starting in right field and batting ninth Tuesday for the Angels.

Goodwin is not in the lineup Saturday against Oakland, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin started in right field in Friday's season opener with righty Frankie Montas on the mound, but he'll sit Saturday against southpaw Sean Manaea, with Taylor Ward starting in his place. Goodwin actually has reverse splits over the course of his career, posting a 121 wRC+ against lefties compared to a 100 wRC+ against righties, but that split against lefties comes with a .374 BABIP and a small sample size (just 186 plate appearances), so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit frequently against southpaws this season.

Goodwin (knee) is in the lineup for Monday's exhibition game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin left Friday's intrasquad matchup after fouling a ball off his right knee, but he's good to go for the Angels' first exhibition game Monday. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready for Opening Day against the Athletics on Friday.

Goodwin is expected to be fine after fouling a ball off his knee Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Maddon confirmed Saturday that Goodwin wasn't seriously injured. It sounds as though he'll be ready to go Opening Day against the Athletics on Friday, when he's expected to be the starting right fielder.

Goodwin exited Friday's intrasquad matchup after he fouled a ball off his right knee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin was down for several minutes after fouling a ball off his right knee Friday, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. He walked around gingerly in the dugout following the injury before heading to the clubhouse. The severity of the injury remains to be seen, and it's unclear whether the issue could impact his availability for the start of the regular season with Opening Day one week away.

Goodwin hit .185/.290/.296 with three doubles and a 4:12 BB:K over 31 plate appearances before spring training was suspended.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin started well this spring but tailed off with only two hits over his final 17 at-bats. Contact was a particular issue as the 29-year-old whiffed in nearly half his Cactus League at-bats after posting a troubling 28.2 strikeout rate last season. Goodwin remains in line to see a healthy dose of starts early in the 2020 campaign, but he's likely to lose significant playing time whenever top prospect Jo Adell is called up to the big leagues.
