Goldschmidt has gone 9-for-26 (.346 average) with one homer and six RBI during Cactus League play.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt was also able to pick up 13 at-bats in his five appearances for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, so despite the lack of Cactus League appearances, he should be fully geared up for Opening Day. The first baseman's slugging took an unexpected hit in 2016, but even if he fails to notice much of a rebound in homers during the upcoming campaign, he could see his run-producing opportunities increase with the Diamondbacks getting a healthy A.J. Pollock back at the top of the order after Pollock sat out much of last season with a fractured elbow.

Goldschmidt is looking forward to competing in the World Baseball Classic in March, the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll leave for Florida on March 6 and begin participating in Team USA workouts March 7. Goldschmidt is expected to anchor the Arizona lineup again in 2017, while his overall production may increase if A.J. Pollock and David Peralta can avoid the injuries that plagued them throughout 2016.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in the 5-3 victory over the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an off-year by Goldschmidt's standards, but he still has a shot at some decent numbers. After Friday's bomb, he is one home run away from 25, and he remains one steal shy of 30. He also has 95 RBI and a .298 average. He could really make that line look a lot nicer with two great games this weekend.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI against the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After a 21-game homer drought in which Goldschmidt hit an uncharacteristic .244/.351/.308 with a whopping 28 strikeouts, he's found his stroke again in emphatic fashion over the last two games, banging out three homers among four hits. Obviously, the first baseman is a fantasy star, but in this season of increased offense across baseball, Goldy's fallen surprisingly short of his usual standards -- he's 10 shy of last year's 33 homers and 20 away from last year's 110 RBI with only a week and a half left to play.

Goldschmidt homered and knocked in two runners in a 2-for-4 game Tuesday against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

This is just Goldschmidt's second homer of September as he has struggled to find his power stroke in the final month of the season. With just 21 blasts this season, he will fall well short of the 33 home runs he posted in 2015. Still, it's hard to argue with his overall performance, as Tuesday's game elevated his season line to .297/.413/.484.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt hasn't gotten a day off since the end of August, so he'll take a seat to rest for Monday's series opener. Kyle Jensen will fill in for the 29-year-old for the evening, but you can expect Goldy to reenter the lineup Tuesday and likely stay there for the rest of the season.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a bit of a struggle recently for the star slugger. Goldschmidt is 4-for-26 (.154) over the last week, and he has seven strikeouts in his last 11 at-bats. Given his pedigree, Goldschmidt will likely put together a hot streak soon. Fantasy owners are just hoping it's in time to help them in their playoff matchups.

Goldschmidt is out of Sunday's lineup versus the Reds, Jody Jackson of Fox Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt will get a rare day off for Arizona's series finale against Cincinnati as Phil Gosselin starts at first. Goldschmidt has continued his phenomenal season-long performance at the plate recently, having hit .353/.462/.549 with two home runs over the last 14 games.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-6 with his 20th homer, 20th steal, two RBI and three runs in Wednesday's 11-inning victory over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Goldy's power production has fallen off a bit this year -- surprising in a season that's seen power hitting explode across the league -- but he's now gone 20-20 in consecutive seasons, and there aren't many players who can do that while also being assets in batting average. Indeed, the star first baseman is on pace to hit over .300 for the fourth straight season. There's nothing not to love about the package he offers for fantasy owners.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI and a walk-off solo home run in Monday's win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

This marks just Goldschmidt's second home run in August, but he's been bringing it in every other facet of the game. He has scored 19 runs thanks to a ludicrous 20:14 BB:K and now owns a .338/.473/.535 line in 20 games in August. If that wasn't enough, he has also thrown in five stolen bases as he continues to be one of the most well-rounded fantasy players in the league.
