St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is getting the day off on Sunday as the team takes on right-hander Nick Nelson and the Philadelphia Phillies. Albert Pujols will be covering first base for the game. Goldschmidt was officially voted in as the starting first baseman for the National League in the All-Star Game this weekend. The honor was certainly well-deserved as Goldy has been simply fantastic this season. He's second in the majors in both batting average (.340) and OPS (1.032) and he's compiled 19 homers and 65 RBI over 83 games.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the series against the visiting San Diego Padres in the Bronx on Tuesday. Ben Rice will start at first base and bat out of the two-hole against Padres right-hander Michael King. Goldy will be taking a regular day of rest after outperforming expectations early on in his first season with the Yankees after showing clear signs of offensive decline his last few years in St. Louis. The 37-year-old seven-time All-Star and former MVP is hitting a robust .353/.400/.481 with an .881 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases in 133 at-bats. Rice is in a prime batting-order location to return some DFS value, but he's facing one of the better pitchers in the league and has never faced King. Rice has opened the year hitting .255 (27-for-106) with eight homers, 13 RBI, 22 runs and two steals for the Yanks.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is getting the day off on Thursday for the series finale against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks at Yankee Stadium. Ben Rice is getting the start at first base and is hitting leadoff against D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly. Goldy will take his first day off of the year after hitting atop New York's batting order the last four games. The 37-year-old former National League MVP has gotten off to a .250 batting average (5-for-20) with a homer, double, two RBI, one walk and six strikeouts in five games played. The seven-time All-Star showed plenty of signs of decline his last two years in St. Louis, but he could be a bit more intriguing as a bounce-back candidate if he continues to hit atop the Yankees' batting order. Rice will be a popular DFS play on Thursday in the leadoff spot after going 5-for-13 with two homers, a double and two RBI in his first five games in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is batting leadoff again on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Corbin Burnes. It will be Goldschmidt's third time leading off in the early going in five games played. In his first game at leadoff on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, the 37-year-old right-handed slugger hit the first pitch he saw out of the park and set the stage for the Yankees to set a new MLB record by homering three straight times on only three pitches to begin a game. He will now hit leadoff for the third straight game against a right-hander, and the Yanks don't really have any reason to change their lineup up after scoring 32 runs in the games that Goldy has hit leadoff. He's gone 5-for-12 with a homer, double and two RBI in three games and has hit .323 with an .834 OPS, a homer and two RBI in 31 career at-bats against Burnes.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is starting at first base and batting leadoff for the team's second game of the regular season on Saturday at Yankee Stadium against the Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Nestor Cortes. Catcher Austin Wells was the team's leadoff hitter on Opening Day against Milwaukee on Thursday, but Goldy will sit atop the order on Saturday with a lefty on the mound. Outfielder Jasson Dominguez is at designated hitter, which will push the lefty-hitting Ben Rice to the bench with a southpaw starting. Goldschmidt went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Opening Day in his Yankees debut. The 37-year-old veteran has shown obvious signs of decline as a hitter the last few seasons before coming to the Bronx, although there is bounce-back potential with the Yankees, and hitting leadoff against lefties will help. Goldy has one hit in four career at-bats against Cortes.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
