EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt clobbered a hanging changeup from innings-eater Alec Mills over the left field wall for his 18th homer of the season. He came close to picking up his second extra-base hit of the day when Ian Happ robbed him of a double with an incredible sliding catch in the seventh. The 34-year-old first baseman is hitting for a higher average than ever before in his career without sacrificing his established power numbers. Goldschmidt has been red hot over the past 15 days and is slashing .360./439/.740 with five home runs over that span, despite dealing with back tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt sat out a game to deal with back tightness. He returned as the designated hitter Wednesday and promptly launched his two-run shot in the first inning. He's swatted six of his 17 homers this year in June, and he's sporting an excellent .339/.418/.623 slash line with 60 RBI, 50 runs scored and three stolen bases across 67 contests. Goldschmidt should be able to return to the field soon, as his absence Tuesday was deemed precautionary.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old had a 1.482 OPS during a seven-game hit streak before going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Monday's matchup with Milwaukee, though it's unclear when exactly his back started tightening up. It doesn't appear to be a significant injury since manager Oliver Marmol labeled Goldschmidt's absence as a precautionary measure, so the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day for now.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Monday's series opener in Milwaukee and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Brendan Donovan will shift to first base while Juan Yepez serves as the designated hitter.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in a 9-1 win over the Pirates in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

After going yard in the matinee, Goldschmidt kept flexing his muscles in the nightcap, clubbing homers off Bryse Wilson in the first and second innings to help give the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead. The first baseman is up to 16 homers on the season -- including four in his last three games -- putting him two behind Pete Alonso for the NL lead, to go along with a stellar .349/.431/.642 slash line.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a 3-1 win over the Pirates during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt took Sunday off after going 0-for-9 over his previous three games and he immediately got his groove back Monday. He doubled and scored in the sixth inning and then drilled a go-ahead shot to begin the seventh. The slugging first baseman is now slashing .335/.419/.598 with 33 extra-base hits and 48 RBI this season. However, since losing his 25-game hitting streak on June 4, Goldschmidt is hitting just .250 with one RBI in nine appearances.

Goldschmidt will sit Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt finds himself on the bench for just the third time this season. While he still owns an excellent .327/.411/.577 slash line, he's gone hitless over his last three games, so a day off seems like a good idea. Juan Yepez will handle first base in his absence.
