Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't homer in four games at Coors Field, Goldschmidt did go 8-for-17 with six RBI. In the process, he bumped his season average to .301. After hitting .300 or better in each of the last three seasons, Goldschmidt is a good bet to keep his average north of .300 again this season.

Goldschmidt reached base four times in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays, going 2-for-2 with two walks.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt entered June batting .269, but he's now got the average up to .290. A career .298 hitter, Goldschmidt figures to keep the hot hitting going and produce counting stats at an elite level.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt is rolling right now with at least one hit in 13 straight games, but he had not had a day off since April 17, and manager Chip Hale decided that Monday was an opportune time to give Goldschmidt his first day off in over two months. With Goldschmidt opening Monday's game on the bench, Phil Gosselin will get the start at first base.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger is feasting on Phillies pitching in the series, now hitting .500 (5-for-10) with a double, two homers and three RBI. He's enjoying a banner June overall, and has raised his average 21 points since May 31.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a double, solo homer and two runs in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old slugger extended his hitting streak to 11 games with his fourth multi-hit effort over that span. He's also homered for the second time in the last four games, and drove in a run for the sixth straight contest. Goldschmidt is enjoying his best month of the season in June, hitting .345 (20-for-58) with three homers and 10 RBI.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with his 12th home run of the season in Monday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The blast was a solo shot off Mike Bolsinger in the bottom of the first. Goldy now has an RBI in three straight games and is 12-for-28 (.429 average) over the last week. With his slash line up to .282/.428/.498, he's looking more and more like the player fantasy owners have come to love.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a pair of runs scored in Sunday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Goldy extended his current hitting streak to seven games and raised his batting average up to .283, which is his high-water mark since the fifth game of the season. The slugger has experienced no shortage of production in the other counting categories and is on pace for another exceptional year now that the average is on the rise.

Goldschmidt hit his 11th home run as part of a 3-for-4 game with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt managed his first multi-hit game since May 31 and raised his average from .262 to .272 in the process. While Goldschmidt has been excellent this year, with a .429 OBP and .490 SLG, the .300 batting average he has produced in each of the past two years has yet to show up. Part of that is a lack of lineup protection -- Goldschmidt has walked 55 times in 59 games and isn't getting much to hit. Still, it will only take a few more games like Tuesday's for Goldschmidt to get his average back to where we're used to, and if anybody's capable of rattling a few such games off in a hurry, it's Goldschmidt.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Astros and now has hits in six straight games.
EDGE Analysis
Over the six-game stretch, Goldschmidt is 10-for-20, and he's bumped his season batting average from .240 to .269 in the process. Given Goldy's track record, it was only a matter of time before his bat heated up. He should be one of fantasy's top contributors the rest of the way.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a walk and a strikeout against San Diego on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt's average remains a paltry (for his standards) .257, but he remains a major threat at the plate due to his power and his ability to get on base at a high clip. The first baseman has hit safely in eight of the past nine games for a .400 average over that span, so he's beginning to show the form he's evidenced over the past three seasons.
