Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he has six multi-hit efforts in that span while batting .349 (15-for-43). The first baseman's steal was his eighth of the season, surpassing his total of seven for all of 2022. He's slashing .291/.382/.500 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 48 runs scored and 20 doubles over 72 contests -- numbers in line with his 2021 production, though they look worse compared to his 2022 MVP season.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt had a brief slump earlier in June, but he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) with two homers and six RBI over his last seven games. The first baseman has also struck out 10 times in that span, which is a bit unusual for a fairly patient hitter. On the season, he's at a .287/.381/.493 slash line with 12 homers, 33 RBI, 45 runs scored, 19 doubles and seven stolen bases over 69 contests. Goldschmidt also has a 22.3 percent strikeout rate and 12.7 percent walk rate, roughly in line with his career norms as he pieces together another strong campaign.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
This was Goldschmidt's fourth multi-hit effort over his last eight games, a span in which he's hitting .355 with three home runs. The first baseman ranks fourth in the majors with 18 doubles, and he's added 10 homers to provide solid power output. He's also been consistent with a .298/.401/.521 slash line, 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and seven stolen bases -- that's not quite at the level of his MVP campaign a year ago, but it's still excellent for fantasy managers.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
This was Goldschmidt's third multi-hit effort in five games after a span in which he went just 1-for-21 over seven contests. Slumps tend not to last too long for the first baseman, but it's a positive to see him looking like himself again after a rough week. For the season, he's slashing .294/.400/.525 with 10 homers, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 17 doubles.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman took Graham Ashcraft deep in the first and third innings in a wild affair that saw the two teams combine for 10 runs in the first four frames. Remarkably, Goldschmidt has only homered in three of the last 32 games, but all three times he launched multiple long balls. He's up to nine homers in 49 games on the season to go along with a stellar .293/.404/.521 slash line.

Goldschmidt went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, Goldschmidt's patience at the plate was rewarded. He's now racked up eight walks, two steals and four runs scored despite going 0-for-10 across his last four games. His seven thefts this season match his total from last year, and he's slashing .301/.407/.514 with seven home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored through 45 contests.

Goldschmidt went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 16-8 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt went hitless for a third straight game, but he's logged at least one walk in five of his last six contests. With his ability to keep the line moving, he was also to get involved in run-scoring. He stole second in the fourth inning, allowing Oscar Mercado to steal home. For the season, Goldschmidt is slashing .302/.400/.517 with six steals, seven home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored across 44 contests.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and one run in Monday's 18-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has posted four hits across the past two games and has turned in three multi-hit efforts in his last four contests, bringing his season-long batting average up from .306 to .319. Though the Cardinals are still sitting eight games under .500 for the season, the team's struggles don't fall on the shoulders of the reigning National League MVP. His .949 OPS is only 33 behind his mark from 2022, and he's already two stolen bases away from matching last season's total of seven.
