Outlook Paul Goldschmidt
Paul Goldschmidt is surging as a primary run-producer for the injury-depleted Yankees.
Over the last 14 days, Goldschmidt has been locked in, batting .333 with three home runs and 13 RBI. This surge has been crucial for the second-place Yankees, who hold a 41-26 record on a four-game winning streak but are missing stars Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Goldschmidt remains firmly entrenched as the Yankees' everyday starter at first base.
While our season projection expected some late-career decline, forecasting a .259 batting average, Goldschmidt's actual .287 mark and eight home runs on the year suggest he has plenty of gas left. Given his career track record of elite production, we expect some regression from his hot .333 clip, but he remains a highly reliable corner infield asset.
The Yankees have three games remaining this week in Toronto. Goldschmidt faces tougher matchups against Trey Yesavage (3.16 ERA) and Kevin Gausman (3.71 ERA) before catching a highly favorable matchup on Sunday against Patrick Corbin, who yields a 4.55 ERA. Lock the veteran hitter in as a set-and-forget option. Action: Start.
