However, the club will be without first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in the starting lineup due to a knee injury. Despite that, Goldschmidt shared some positive news about his current status.<\/p>\n<p>While talking with media members before the game, the 37-year-old slugger claimed he should be available off the bench, according to Jeff Jones of Bellville News-Democrat. Paul Goldschmidt also believes he will avoid a trip to the IL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoldschmidt says he&#8217;s not in the lineup but should be available off the bench tonight. Not expecting an IL at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The five-time Silver Slugger Award winner initially suffered the knee injury in the Yankees&#8217; 9-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Paul Goldschmidt was ruled out in the following contest on Wednesday, which ended in a 4-1 loss to the Twins.<\/p>\n<p>Considering he&#8217;s playing a bench role, it&#8217;s a good indication that Goldschmidt avoided a more serious injury. There is a chance he remains on the bench over the weekend for the entire series against the Cardinals. But that decision will ultimately be made by him and manager Aaron Boone.<\/p>\n<p>With the Yankees in a dog fight for playoff positioning, it would be ideal for Goldschmidt to avoid an IL stint and return to the lineup as soon as possible. He&#8217;s been solid throughout his career, and that is the case once again. Through 398 at-bats so far this season, Paul Goldschmidt owns a .276 batting average and .331 OBP while recording 110 hits, 10 home runs, and 40 RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees game against the Cardinals, which is Goldschmidt&#8217;s former team, begins at 8:15 p.m. EST. The three-game series will be in St. Louis, and the Yankees won&#8217;t play in New York again until August 21, when they face off against the Boston Red Sox in a four-game series.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Benedetto Vitale has nearly a decade of experience in sports journalism, with expertise in covering the NFL, NCAA Football, NBA, and UFC.
