NEW YORK, NY - JULY 31: Manager, Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees looks on during the game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on July 31, 2025 in New York, New York.

Overview

  • Goldschmidt has been diagnosed with a low-grade right knee sprain and missed New York’s game against the Twins on Wednesday.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said a stint on the 10-day injured list is possible as the club evaluates his condition over the next 24 hours.
  • The 37-year-old traveled with the team to St. Louis for this weekend’s series against his former club, but his game-day status remains in question.
  • New York is considering internal cover at first base, including Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger and minor-league call-ups if Goldschmidt is placed on the IL.
  • Even a short absence could disrupt the Yankees’ lineup balance and affect their grip on the AL wild-card spot with 41 games remaining.
