Goldschmidt isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will take a day to regroup after going 2-for-18 over his last five games. Ben Rice will pick up a start at first base while batting leadoff.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-3 win against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt followed Trent Grisham's second-inning long ball with a solo blast of his own to give New York a 4-2 lead. The veteran first baseman entered the day in a mini-slump, going 0-for-10 over his previous three games. In fact, Goldschmidt has struggled for most of June -- he's batting .180 with just four RBI and two homers through 17 games this month while posting a 28.8 percent strikeout rate. Goldschmidt is still batting .303 on the campaign, however.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees haven't indicated that Goldschmidt is dealing with a physical issue, but the 37-year-old will hit the bench for the second day in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jose Soriano). Manager Aaron Boone will likely elaborate further on the lineup when he speaks to the media Monday, but Chris Kirschner of The Athletic speculates that the return of Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) from the 60-day injured list could result in the Yankees opting for a quasi-platoon at first base. With Stanton expected to get the majority of the at-bats at designated hitter moving forward, the right-handed-hitting Goldschmidt could give way at first base more frequently to the left-handed-hitting Ben Rice when the Yankees face righties. Goldschmidt owns a 91 wRC+ versus righties for the season, while Rice has posted a 132 wRC+ in those matchups.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will receive Sunday off after a run of 16 consecutive starts, during which he posted a .194/.275/.339 slash line with three doubles and two homers. Ben Rice will step in at first base for the Yankees while Aaron Judge rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-6 win against Boston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt's long ball was a 346-foot shot to right field in the sixth inning. It was his first home run (and just his second hit) so far this month; the veteran slugger has gone 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts and a stolen base through five June games. Goldschmidt is still slashing a productive .320/.376/.478 on the campaign, and he's added seven homers, 29 RBI, 40 runs and five thefts across 62 contests.

Goldschmidt isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will get a chance to regroup Thursday after going 0-for-7 with a walk and four strikeouts during the first two games of the series. Ben Rice will cover first base and bat second while the 37-year-old veteran rests.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt clubbed the final of four early home runs for New York, swatting a solo shot in the third inning. The long ball snapped a 12-game stretch without a homer for the veteran slugger, though he hit well during that span, batting .350 with a 6:5 BB:K. Goldschmidt has a modest six home runs on the season, putting him on pace to finish below 20 for the first time since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, but he's otherwise been plenty productive with a .343 batting average (fourth best in the majors) and .901 OPS.

Goldschmidt is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ben Rice will start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot in Monday's series opener. Goldschmidt went 7-for-17 with one steal and two RBI over his last four games, and since the beginning of May he has slashed .329/.393/.513 with three steals, three home runs and 14 RBI in 85 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a walk, a steal, an RBI single and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt came around to score twice during the Yankees' 10-run fifth inning and contributed to the rout with an RBI single to center field. Goldschmidt has logged three hits seven times this season and has 21 multi-hit games. The veteran first baseman is slashing .344/.399/.492 with four steals, five home runs and 27 RBI over 209 plate appearances this season.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will get a day off after starting in the last four contests and 10 of the past 11 tilts. Ben Rice will hold down first base and bat second for the Yankees.
