A pair of key cogs returned to the Yankees’ starting lineup, as Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger were both in there for Sunday afternoon’s series finale in St. Louis. But Giancarlo Stanton

Goldschmidt’s return comes at an important juncture. The Yankees’ lineup has been stretched thin with Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge both limited. Stanton is dealing with soreness after playing in the outfield three straight days. His first time back in the outfield since 2023 was required because Judge is limited to DH by an elbow injury.

The Cardinals let Paul Goldschmidt walk last offseason, and while he's performing well with the Yankees, they are now dealing with an injury issue.

The New York Yankees' season has been in a downward spiral ever since the start of June. Part of that is because of Paul Goldschmidt's collapse offensively.
