Goeddel left Wednesday's game after being hit on the side of the helmet by a pitch, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The ball that hit Goeddel was clocked at 93 mph, but fortunately, he was able to stand up and walk off the field under his own power. Goeddel will likely be subjected to a battery of tests before being cleared to return to action.

Goeddel went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and a steal -- the first of his career -- against the Marlins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
His two-run shot in the first inning ended up being all the offense the Phillies would need for a victory, but Goeddel chipped in an RBI single the very next inning just to be sure. Unfortunately, this was a rare shining moment for the 23-year-old outfielder, who had previously collected exactly one hit in the month of July and is still hitting a brutal .216 with an 8:39 BB:K in limited playing time.

Goeddel is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
With Goeddel starting in left field, Cody Asche will have the night off. Over the last 14 days, Goeddel has gone just 2-for-15 and struck out three times. Additionally, Goeddel is hitting just .205 against left-handed pitchers, which could be trouble, as Robbie Ray takes the mound for the Diamondbacks.

Goeddel is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Stephen Gross of the Morning Call reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel will be on the bench for the seventh time in the last eight games. Even though manager Pete Mackanin said that it is still a priority for him to play Goeddel as much as possible, he is losing time to Cody Asche and Jimmy Paredes, as each will be in corner outfield spots for Saturday's game. Goeddel is hitting .234 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 128 at-bats on the year, but the 23-year-old is only 5-for-30 in the month of June.

Goeddel is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Stephen Gross of the Morning Call reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel started Thursday's game against the Blue Jays after sitting out the past five games in favor of Cody Asche and Jimmy Paredes in the corner outfield spots. In Thursday's game, Goeddel continued his struggles at the plate, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Peter Bourjos will get the start in right field for Friday's game.

Goeddel is starting in left field, batting seventh against Toronto on Thursday, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel has not started the last five games as Phillies manager Pete Mackanin has elected to go with Cody Asche and Jimmy Paredes in the corner outfield positions recently. Goeddel's poor plate performance could also be contributing to him riding the bench lately as he's 8-for-44 (.182) over his last 16 games to go along with 12 strikeouts. He'll look to get back on track against J.A. Happ on Thursday.

Manager Pete Mackanin said it is still a priority for him to play Goeddel as much as possible, Ryan Lawrence of the Philly Voice reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel was on the bench for the fifth straight game Wednesday, so the manager's actions don't necessarily align with his statement. Mackanin said he has to play Cody Asche and wants to see Jimmy Paredes get at-bats which leaves Goeddel with a reduced role right now. Peter Bourjos, who started in right field Wednesday, is also still in the mix for at-bats, though his role has also been significantly reduced.
