Paul Goldschmidt traveling with Yankees but IL stint not out of question
NY Post
Paul Goldschmidt will return to St. Louis with the Yankees this weekend, but his availability against his former team remains in question.
The seven-time All-Star first baseman was unavailable in Wednesday’s loss to the Twins with what was termed a low-grade sprain of his right knee.
Goldschmidt spent five seasons with the Cardinals before signing a one-year deal with the Yankees last winter.
“I don’t need any extra motivation to try to heal. I’ll do everything I can,” Goldschmidt said after the game. “We want to go there and play well, and hopefully, I’ll get a chance to play there.”
Aaron Boone acknowledged that a stint on the injured list was possible, but the 37-year-old Goldschmidt pushed back on the assertion, saying he doesn’t believe it’s a “long-term thing.”
The Yankees have Ben Rice to play first base if Goldschmidt is sidelined, but they also could use Cody Bellinger there and play Jasson Domínguez in left field on the days Rice is used at catcher.
