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.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt put together a solid Saturday playing in both ends of a double header against the Chicago White Sox. In Game 1, Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 in Game 1 then 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Game 2. After not playing since July 24, "Goldy" looked like he'd benefited from the rest. He's up to a .333 batting average and a .935 OPS, but with a much smaller sample size than most of the league.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a home run and a single in Saturday's win, ending up 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. His home run came in the first inning. "Goldy" struggled a bit last season, but still ended up with 34 home runs and 97 RBI. It's hard to label him as a bounce back candidate given how well he did last season, but he could be back on track to putting up the kind of Paul Goldschmidt numbers everyone got used to when he was in Arizona.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (elbow) has continued working out at the Cardinals Spring Training complex in Jupiter, Florida. He has been working one-on-one with a trainer to continue preventative care and treatment on his right elbow. "Goldy" was dealing with his hurt elbow throughout Grapefruit League play, but it sounds like he will be ready to go as soon as the baseball season is ready to go, and he shouldn't miss any actual game time as long as he doesn't experience ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is dealing with elbow soreness again. He'll be looked at by team doctors, but manager Mike Shildt has already said, "it's going to be a couple of days." He'll be eased back in and at least for now there doesn't seem to be any concern about "Goldy" missing Opening Day. That could change quickly depending on how he recovers. Goldschmidt already missed some Grapefruit League time with the elbow soreness, but seemed to have recovered after some ...

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (elbow) got the start at first base for Wednesday's split-squad Grapefruit League game against the Miami Marlins. Goldschmidt had been limited to designated hitter duties because of his elbow, but he was able to throw to all bases and was cleared to play the field on Wednesday.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is dealing with elbow soreness early in spring training. "Goldy" may miss the first few Grapefruit League games, but it is not expected to be much of a concern going forward.

In 2018, Paul Goldschmidt recovered from a season-starting slump, but he had no such luck last season. In 2019, his 116 wRC+ was the worst of his career, even compared to his 48-game debut in 2011. His .260 batting average was deserved given a .262 xBA. With only three stolen bases, those are effectively gone, and at his age of 32 entering 2020, they are not coming back. Despite all of these negatives, Goldschmidt hit 34 home runs, scored 97 times, and drove in 97 runs. The question here is, ...
