Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, two runs scored and three RBI in an 8-6 loss Thursday in Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt doubled and scored in the fourth and smacked a two-run homer in the eighth as the Cardinals attempted to mount a comeback. It's hard to believe that the 34-year-old did not homer until his 19th game as Thursday's knock was his 27th of the season to go along with 31 doubles. Since the All-Star break, he's posted a .339/.424/.768 line with seven homers and 17 RBI in 15 games.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-8 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt was part of the Cardinals' seventh-inning rally in the matinee, and he got aboard three times in a less dramatic win in the nightcap. The first baseman has hit .351 (13-for-37) with six long balls in nine contests since the All-Star break. For the season, he's produced a .332/.413/.614 slash line, 26 homers, 82 RBI, 72 runs scored and five stolen bases in 99 games.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt knocked a two-run single in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth. This was the first baseman's fourth multi-hit effort in seven contests since the All-Star break, and he's swatted five homers in that span. For the season, the steady 34-year-old is up to a .332/.412/.611 slash line with 25 long balls, 81 RBI, 70 runs scored and five stolen bases through 97 games.

Goldschmidt (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list by the Cardinals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt was unable to travel to Canada for the Cardinals' two-game series against the Blue Jays earlier this week, but he'll now rejoin the team ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Nationals. The 34-year-old has homered in his last four games, going 8-for-18 with five long balls and 10 RBI.

Goldschmidt (personal) was placed on the restricted list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt is one of three Cardinals who will be ineligible to play in the two-game series in Toronto because of his vaccination status. The Cardinals start a three-game series with the Nationals on Friday, which the first baseman will be reinstated ahead of. Cory Spangenberg had his contract selected from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday and will replace Goldschmidt on the active roster.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in a 6-3 loss Sunday in Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt was the only player to get a hit off Tyler Mahle, and he took the starter deep twice, accounting for all the Cardinals' runs. He's now homered in four straight games -- five if you include his All-Star Game blast. It appears that the only thing that can stop Goldschmidt right now is the Canadian government, as he won't be able to be with the team due to the COVID-19 vaccination requirement in Canada when St. Louis begins a two-game series in Toronto on Tuesday. He'll rejoin the Cardinals when they return stateside Friday in Washington.

Goldschmidt, who is starting at first base Sunday versus the Reds, won't be able to travel with the Cardinals for the two-game set against the Blue Jays this week due to his vaccination status, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has homered in three straight games and will have a chance to build on that streak Sunday, but he won't be able to travel with the team to Toronto on Tuesday since he's apparently unvaccinated. Nolan Arenado will also be unavailable, leaving St. Louis without its best two players for the two-game set. A move to the restricted list will come ahead of Tuesday's series opener.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt ended a 17-game homer drought just before the All-Star break and also went yard during the Midsummer Classic. He kept up the power Friday, delivering a two-run blast in the fifth inning, though the Cardinals' offense couldn't keep up in this contest. The first baseman has multiple hits in six of 18 games in July and owns a .331/.414/.596 slash line with 21 homers, 72 RBI, 65 runs scored and five stolen bases through 91 games overall.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and one additional RBI in Saturday's victory over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The starting first baseman for the National League All-Star team, Goldschmidt is now up to 20 home runs, and his OPS is over 1.000 for the season (1.004). Since Goldschmidt is playing Tuesday, the Cardinals may look to rest him Sunday.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The National League MVP candidate looks to be getting some routine maintenance after he started in each of the Cardinals' last 17 games while contributing a 1.035 OPS, two stolen bases, 13 runs and seven RBI over that stretch. Albert Pujols will draw a rare start at first base in place of Goldschmidt.
