Overview

  • Goldschmidt sustained a low-grade right-knee sprain with inflammation after slipping while overrunning a foul pop by Byron Buxton on Tuesday.
  • He remained in the lineup to finish Tuesday’s game and hit a double in the seventh inning but sat out Wednesday’s contest due to soreness.
  • Goldschmidt said he doesn’t believe the knee issue will sideline him long term.
  • The 37-year-old is batting .276 with 10 home runs, 40 RBIs and an impressive .404 average against left-handed pitching this season.
  • Ben Rice has started at first base and Cody Bellinger is available to cover the position if Goldschmidt is placed on the injured list.
