Paul Goldschmidt facing possible IL stint as Yankees chase wild card originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aaron Boone said postgame that Paul Goldschmidt dinged his knee catching a pop-up Tuesday night. The Yankees manager said it “could be day to day, could be IL, we’ll see in 24 hours.” That’s another right-handed bat the Yankees could lose.

Cody Bellinger is playing first base, which bumps Jose Caballero into right field. It’s a big outfield in St. Louis, the kind of space that would be a challenge for Giancarlo Stanton to cover at this stage of his career. Aaron Judge remains in the designated hitter spot.

Will Paul Goldschmidt play against his former team this weekend? We still don't know, but the first few procedural hurdles are being cleared.
