Sat Mar 1609:00Paul Goldschmidt Stays Cold Friday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went hitless in four at-bats in an 8-4 Grapefruit League loss to the Marlins on Friday. The veteran has been scuffling this spring, hitting just .148 (4-for-27) including 11 strikeouts (33.3%) and just one home run. You don't want to put too much stock in spring stats, but the 36-year-old is coming off of a season that was a continuation of some troubling trends, seeing his Contact% tick down while his Whiff% ticked up for a third consecutive season. Hopefully the 7x All-Star can pick up the pace, as he'll also be in talks with the Cardinals at some point about a contract extension as the former MVP will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Sat Jan 1314:11Paul Goldschmidt Extension Talks Will Wait Until Start Of Season
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season, will need to wait until the start of the 2024 season for potential extension talks to begin. In regards to an extension for Goldschmidt, president of baseball operations John Mozeliak told reporters on Saturday"I think right now, I think everybody just wants to see how this season starts. You know, obviously, we want to get off on the right track, and then we can address things like that." It makes sense that the Cardinals would slow play this as the team struggled with a 71-91 record, which was good for last place in the NL Central. In addition to that, Goldschmidt had a down year by his lofty standards, finishing with a 268/.363/.447 batting line to go along with 25 home runs, 80 RBI, and 11 stolen bases over 593 at-bats (154 games). The veteran first baseman is fully capable of bouncing back but he is entering his age 36 season. Whether he is extended during the season or traded is anyone's guess at this point.

Fri Sep 29 202316:06Paul Goldschmidt Back In Cardinals Lineup
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (back) is back at first base and is hitting second on Friday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson. Goldschmidt didn't play the last two games due to back tightness, but he'll return for the final series of the regular season this weekend. It was a good time for him to take a rest on Thursday, though, as the 36-year-old former MVP has gone hitless in his last three games played. Fantasy managers still playing for a title this weekend will want to get Goldy back in their lineups, though. He's hitting .267/.362/.444 with an .806 OPS, 25 home runs, 79 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 87 runs scored in 588 total at-bats in 2023.

Thu Sep 28 202318:24Paul Goldschmidt Has Back Tightness, May Return Friday
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol says first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (back), who is out of Thursday's lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers, is dealing with back tightness. The 36-year-old should be deemed day-to-day ahead of the final weekend set of the year versus the division-rival Cincinnati Reds, but fantasy managers should feel pretty good about Goldschmidt returning as soon as Friday. "We want to make sure he's good to play when we get back home in front of our own fans", Marmol also stated. Goldy will look to provide one last hurrah for those relying on him late in fantasy championship week, and the 2022 National League MVP is slashing .267/.362/.444 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, and 11 stolen bases overall.

Thu Sep 28 202314:24Paul Goldschmidt Sitting Again On Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is once again sitting out of the starting lineup Thursday versus the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Corbin Burnes. The 2022 NL MVP did not take part in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers and will be on the bench again Thursday, although a specific reason for his absence has not been released. Of course, the Cardinals could be opting to give young players playing time in the final week of a wildly disappointing season that has them sitting in last place in the NL Central at 69-89. For the season, Goldschmidt has hit .267 with 25 home runs, 11 stolen bases, and an .806 OPS across 152 games played.

Mon Sep 18 202300:21Paul Goldschmidt Nails 25th Dinger Sunday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt smacked his 25th homer and 28th double of the season in a 6-5 win over the Phillies on Sunday.

Goldschmidt has had a slow few months but still carries a solid slash line of .273/.366/.456. He's also recorded 78 RBI in 561 trips to the plate.

Wed Sep 13 202300:19Paul Goldschmidt Hits 24th Homer Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles. The first-inning blast was the veteran's 24th of the season. The 36-year-old hasn't been quite as productive as he has been the past couple of seasons, but he still owns a strong .272/.363/.452 slash line with 74 RBI and 10 stolen bases. Age decline is often a worry among fantasy managers, but Goldschmidt has once again performed like a higher-end fantasy option this season.

Thu Aug 17 202318:18Paul Goldschmidt Sees Favorable Matchup On Thursday
The St. Louis Cardinals and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt kick off a four-game set with the New York Mets on Thursday. The 35-year-old has posted three multi-hit efforts in his last four outings and looks to be in an outstanding spot out of the two-hole for the series opener against Jose Quintana. Goldschmidt has utterly wrecked the Mets' southpaw by going 11-for-17 with three home runs, three doubles, and a walk in 19 career plate appearances opposing Quintana. Season-long fantasy managers should already be setting and forgetting Goldschmidt in lineups, but perhaps there's an added layer of anticipation for this one in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Thu Aug 10 202318:14Paul Goldschmidt Aims To Bust Slump On Thursday
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt and the St. Louis Cardinals look to take the rubber match of a three-game series versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The 35-year-old has struggled at the plate recently; Goldschmidt is batting a woeful .192 (9-for-47) with just one extra-base hit over a 12-game homerless dry spell since July 27. Goldy appears to have a prime opportunity in this one to get back on track with a matchup opposing Zack Littell, who he is a remarkable 5-for-6 with a home run and a double in seven plate appearances against in his career. Keep the 2022 NL MVP inserted in season-long fantasy lineups despite his recent troubles.

Tue Jul 25 202302:28Paul Goldschmidt Crushes 17th Homer In Win
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 35-year-old hurt his former club in this one, initiating a huge Cardinals scoring output with a first-inning two-run goner. Goldschmidt then hit a ninth-inning RBI single to uncork a late five-run St. Louis surge. The 2022 NL MVP is slashing a prolific .285/.371/.473 with 17 homers, 53 RBI, 63 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 439 plate appearances in 2023. Goldschmidt has two more shots this series at his old D-backs team, who he's now punished for a .395 BA with five bombs and 14 RBI across 38 at-bats against since 2022.

Thu Jul 13 202320:51Paul Goldschmidt Aims To Keep Up Prolific Start
The St. Louis Cardinals and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt start their season's second half on Friday for a three-game set with the Washington Nationals. The 35-year-old has remained a fantasy stalwart in 2023, slashing .284/.369/.475 with 15 home runs, 46 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 341 at-bats. Goldschmidt has struggled mightily, however, versus Washington in recent years. He is hitting .188 with four homers, 11 RBI, and one swipe over 112 ABs against the Nationals since 2018. Goldschmidt's career .242 BA and .664 OPS opposing the Nats also signify his lowest figures vs. any NL club. The multi-time Silver Slugger should still be locked into daily fantasy lineups, but perhaps expectations could be slightly tempered considering these caveats.

Thu Jul 6 202316:06Paul Goldschmidt Resting Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. With Goldy taking a day off, Alec Burleson will fill in at first base and will bat seventh in the lineup against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. Goldschmidt hasn't been the problem for the disappointing Cardinals this year, and he's gone 6-for-23 (.261) with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in six games to begin the month of July. Overall, the 35-year-old MVP from a season ago is slashing .284/.370/.482 with an .851 OPS, 15 home runs, 20 doubles, 46 RBI, eight stolen bases and 52 runs scored in 84 games. Goldschmidt isn't quite performing at the elite level that he was last year, but he remains a must-start for fantasy purposes when he's active.

Sun Jun 25 202302:28Paul Goldschmidt Drives In The Cardinals Only Run
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk, and a strikeout in a 9-1 blowout loss to the Chicago Cubs in London on Saturday. The Cards didn't put on much of a show across the pond in MLB's London series as the Cubs put up seven runs in the first four innings. "Goldy" was the only batter on St. Louis to record an RBI as he singled in Tommy Edman in the sixth inning. Goldschmidt has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a wildly disappointing season for the Cardinals. He's slashing .287/.378/.491 with 13 home runs, 39 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 289 at-bats.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Giants. The veteran is still producing fantasy value at a high level, slashing .286/.380/.492 with 11 HR, 30 RBI, and seven stolen bases. The power has been down in June and this homer was his first of the month, so hopefully it can get him going again.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado are both taking the day off on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver. Fantasy managers will need to make sure both All-Star players are on their benches on Thursday for a matinee contest. Goldy has been his usual awesome self in 2023 with a .292 average (56-for-192) with 16 doubles, nine home runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases in 50 games. Arenado, meanwhile, has also been highly productive with a .264 average (52-for-197) with five doubles, a triple, nine home runs and 34 RBI in 49 games.

Wed May 24 202300:13Paul Goldschmidt Homers Twice Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had another great game at the plate in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds. Playing designated hitter, the veteran went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk, and a strikeout. Goldschmidt has been a stellar fantasy contributor once again this season, slashing .293/.404/.521 with nine HR, 25 RBI, and seven stolen bases. The Cardinals are starting to turn things around as a whole, which can only boosts Goldschmidt's fantasy value.

Mon May 8 202312:17Paul Goldschmidt Goes Off With Three Homers
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was apparently seeing the baseball like a beach ball on Sunday in the 12-6 win over the Detroit Tigers, as he went 4-for-5 with three home runs, four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base for a cherry on top. The three-homer performance was the third of Goldy's career, and it helped the Cardinals end their miserable eight-game losing streak. The 35-year-old hasn't been affected by St. Louis' terrible start to the 2023 season, as he's currently hitting .321 (43-for-134) with a league-leading 14 doubles, seven home runs, 20 RBI, four stolen bases and 22 runs scored in 154 plate appearances and 34 games. Continue to run Goldschmidt out in your fantasy lineups every day.

Mon Apr 17 202317:14Paul Goldschmidt Gets Day Off
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The superstar slugger will get a well deserved rest day on Monday. Through 16 games, he's hitting .322 with one home run and eight RBI with two stolen bases. Brendan Donovan will serve as the leadoff hitter and cover first base against righty Merrill Kelly. The fact Donovan is batting first should give him a slight boost in fantasy value for Monday's slate.

Tue Mar 14 202314:42Paul Goldschmidt Hitting Over .400 This Spring
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is now playing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but before he left, he was hitting .417 (5-for-12) with a double, a home run, one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in five Grapefruit League contests. The 35-year-old slugger is a top-five fantasy first baseman heading into spring drafts. The seven-time All-Star was named the National League MVP last year after slashing .317/.404/.578 with a league-high .981 OPS, 35 home runs, 115 RBI, 106 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 651 plate appearances and 151 games played. Goldschmidt is still an excellent option at the position for fantasy managers, but we should expect some regression in 2023.

Thu Nov 17 202219:01Paul Goldschmidt Named National League MVP
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was named the 2022 National League Most Valuable Player, his first career MVP award. He's also the first Cardinal to win the award since Albert Pujols did so in 2009. Goldy had the best season of his career at 34 years old and led the NL in slugging percentage (.578) while leading all of baseball in OPS (.981) and weighted runs created plus (177). He managed to beat out teammate Nolan Arenado and San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado for the hardware. Goldschmidt's final slash line sat at .317/.404/.578, and he added 35 home runs, 115 RBI, 106 runs scored and seven stolen bases in his 561 at-bats. Despite being 35 heading into the 2023 season, Goldschmidt will remain an elite fantasy first baseman.
