St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 14-3 blowout win over the Washington Nationals. "Goldy" hit a home run in the first inning and added a single later on. It was the 250th home run of the former Diamondback's career, who is now hitting .256 with a .676 OPS on the season. It looks like he'll stay in the second spot in the batting order for a while, where he should have plenty of run creating opportunities.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (back) told reporters early Saturday that he will be back in the lineup against the Adrian Houser and the Brewers, according to Zachary Silver of MLB.com. Goldschmidt said that his back had tightened up on him when the team returned to St. Louis Wednesday, and shortly before first pitch of Thursday's game it was announced he was held out with lower back tightness. It sounds like he is good to go again, but managers should keep an eye on ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (back) was held out of the lineup on Thursday due to lower back tightness, the team announced shortly before first pitch. There's no word that this is anything more than a one-game issue, but managers should keep an eye out for further updates in case this becomes a lingering issue that keeps him out multiple games. If Goldschmidt misses extended time, Matt Carpenter and John Nogowski will fill in at first base for St. Louis.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt found his power stroke over the last few days. Goldschmidt hit two home runs off of Jack Flaherty in an exhibition on Tuesday- then followed it up with a two-run blast on Wednesday against the Astros, his first in Grapefruit League action. The 33-year-old slashed .304/.417/.466 in 2020, though his power numbers experienced a slight decline. If this spring is a sign of things to come, then Goldschmidt could bounce back in the home run category,...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is batting third for in a Spring Training game against the Astros on Sunday. Goldschmidt is off to a slow start this spring reaching base just once through seven plate-appearances. Goldschmidt is batting in front of newly acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado who should provide lineup protection for Goldy. Last season, Goldschmidt walked at a whopping 16 percent rate which worked wonders for his .417 on-base percentage, but also lowered his ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has proven to be a solid, albeit unspectacular fantasy producer over his two years in St. Louis. Goldschmidt, who turned 33 this past September, is no longer worth consideration in the first few rounds of drafts, but he's a reliable and consistent target to have your eye on at the start of the middle rounds. Goldschmidt slashed .304/.417/.466 with six home runs, 21 RBI and 31 runs over 58 games in 2020. Last year, he had a notable power drop ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (elbow) had a bone spur removed from his right elbow, and general manager John Mozeliak said that Goldschmidt is progressing well. The right-handed power bat played 58 of a possible 60 games during the 2020 regular season and batted .304 with an .883 OPS, so his elbow clearly didn't bother him during the season. The 33-year-old was a bit of a disappointment in his first season with the Red Birds in 2019, but he was able to bounce back and ease ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a big hit on Sunday, going 1-for-5 with a three run home run. "Goldy" hit his fourth homer of the season off Jon Lester in the third inning. The three RBI gives Goldschmidt 14 on the season to go with his .317 batting average and .966 OPS. He's looking like the Paul Goldschmidt that played on the Diamondbacks for years and should be started in all formats of fantasy.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidts production has not been fazed by the oddity of the 2020 year. Entering Thursday leading the Majors with a .478 on-base percentage, Goldschmidt is among the games elite, posting a .426 wOBA and .429 xwOBA. While usually an excellent source of walks, Goldschmidt has eschewed strikeouts this season as well, having amassed the top BB% in the Majors (20.9%), all while striking out at an elite 12.2% of the time. In addition to the numbers that he ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt reached base four times on Saturday, officially going 1-for-1 but walking three times. His hit was a single, so Goldschmidt, who also played first base on defense, must have become quite familiar with that part of the diamond. "Goldy" looks much more like himself this year (in a small sample size) than he did last year. He'll head into his next game with a .347 batting average and a .982 OPS.
