Goldschmidt's Slump Deepens in Loss to White Sox

Paul Goldschmidt went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Cardinals' 5-1 loss to the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a continuation of what has been a challenging season for Goldschmidt, whose batting average has now dipped to .208. With a strikeout rate of .308 and only two home runs over 33 games, his power numbers and contact rates are far from what fantasy managers have come to expect. Given these struggles, it might be wise for fantasy managers to consider benching Goldschmidt until he shows signs of a turnaround, especially in leagues where batting average is a critical category. His current form does not inspire confidence, and a wait-and-see approach may be prudent.
