Updated on August 22, 2025 at 7:48pm

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Goldschmidt started three of the previous four contests and has an .823 OPS through 15 games in August, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's matchup with Boston. Ben Rice will handle first base while Austin Wells starts at catcher versus Red Sox righty Brayan Bello.
