Goldschmidt’s presence is noted as part of the Yankee lineup in this recap, illustrating how veteran bat control and power contribute to the team’s late-game offense and fantasy-relevant counting stats.

Goldschmidt’s fourth-inning error set the stage for Boston’s late surge, a reminder that even elite players aren’t immune to costly miscues. In fantasy, his steady run production and power still remain a core, but owners should monitor defensive lapses and lineup protection in the short term.

Goldschmidt’s low-grade knee sprain with inflammation creates a short-term vacancy in the Yankees’ lineup. His 112 games, 10 homers, and 40 RBI provide steady middle-of-order presence; Rice steps in to absorb first-base duties and some catcher time, while Wells absorbs more pressure behind the plate. The injury also shapes the team’s short-term rotation and lineup balance as they chase a Wild Card spot.

Goldschmidt’s right knee sprain could force IL placement as the Yankees monitor his status after off-day evaluation. His steady season includes a .276/. with 10 HR and 40 RBI in 112 games; he’s been potent against left-handed pitching (.404). His presence at 1B and in the lineup impacts NYY’s fantasy projections and defensive alignment.

Goldschmidt’s right knee sprain threatens his status; Boone may place him on IL or keep him day-to-day. Absence would force lineup reshuffles at 1B/DH and could push Domínguez/Escarra into larger roles, with Bellinger providing defensive versatility. The IL timeline could significantly impact daily fantasy projections for the Yankees.
