Overview
- Goldschmidt was listed as emergency-only and did not appear in the Yankees’ 3-1 win over the Blue Jays on Sept. 6.
- Boone said the club does not view the issue as serious and expected normal availability, though Goldschmidt did not start Sunday against Max Scherzer.
- New York plans to manage his workload with rest and situational use rather than push a quick return to everyday duty.
- Since the Aug. 12 knee incident, his extra-base output has tailed off, with four doubles in 15 games after rejoining the lineup.
- Ben Rice has taken most first-base reps in this stretch, capitalizing on the opportunity and keeping the lineup steady when Goldschmidt rests.
