Paul Goldschmidt News
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has been flat-out awful to start the month of May. The veteran slugger entered Sunday's game 1-for-32 with 14 strikeouts. Luckily, was able to do some damage against the Milwaukee Brewers. Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the victory. This will raise his slash line to .197/.280/.279 on the season. This situation is obviously frustrating for fantasy managers, but maybe this is a sign of more good things to come.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Goldschmidt was scheduled to sit out Wednesday's series finale against the New York Mets on Wednesday before the game was rained out, so the Cardinals have just elected to give the struggling Goldy another day off. Alec Burleson will once again start at first base and hit cleanup against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. The 36-year-old right-handed slugger hasn't recorded a hit in his last six games to drop his season slash line to .195/.287/.263 with only two home runs and 11 RBI in 133 at-bats. Burleson has never faced Myers in his career but will be a tempting DFS play out of the cleanup spot as the Cardinals look to get their offense going. Goldy should be back in action on Friday in Milwaukee as he looks to break out of his season-long slump.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday for the series finale against the visiting New York Mets. Alec Burleson will get the start at first base and will hit fifth against Mets left-hander Jose Quintana. Goldschmidt is hitting .545 with a 1.651 OPS, three home runs and 11 RBI in 22 career at-bats against Quintana in his career, but the slugging 36-year-old right-hander has also gone hitless so far in the month of May and could use a day off to clear his head. Goldy, like many of St. Louis' hitters, has been ice-cold to start the year and is currently slashing just .195/.287/.263 with two home runs and 11 RBI in 133 at-bats. Burleson went 3-for-5 with a home run on Tuesday but is also hitting just .188 (3-for-16) with a homer and four RBI against lefties this year.

Paul Goldschmidt is entering the final year of his contract and at 36 years old, you'd be excused for thinking he's over the hill. The numbers do not back that up. In 2023, the veteran first baseman played 154 games (687 plate appearances) and hit .268/.363/.447 with 25 homers, 80 RBI, 89 runs and 11 stolen bases. Although the homers, RBI and runs were the lowest Goldschmidt has tallied in a full season since 2016, he still ranked 47th among all hitters on the ESPN Player Rater. The consistent production is not to be sniffed at. It's fair to say the days of 30 homers and triple-digit RBI and runs look over. His .491 xSLG and .367 xwOBA (.350 wOBA) do suggest that he's capable of another 25-homer season, supported by his 25.5 xHR in 2023. Goldschmidt has been one of the most durable players for the last decade. Since 2015, he's missed a total of 44 games (an average of less than five games missed a season). While Goldschmidt has shown signs of slowing down, the numbers don't look like they'll fall off a cliff in 2024. If you draft him for a repeat of last year, you shouldn't be disappointed.
