Paul Goldschmidt Remains a Must-Add Waiver Wire Target
New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has had a resurgent 2026 season thus far, hitting .291/.353/.552 with 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 31 runs scored, and one stolen base across 224 plate appearances. The 38-year-old was expected to fill a bench role with the Yankees entering the year, but injuries to Yankees sluggers Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Aaron Judge (ribs) have opened up everyday playing time for Goldschmidt. The future Hall of Famer's barrel rate has bounced back from 7.9% in 2025 to 11.9% in 2026. He's also gotten stronger as the season's progressed, hitting .326 with eight home runs across eight home runs in June. Once Stanton returns, Goldschmidt could see his playing time decrease. However, Stanton's recovery timeline remains uncertain, and Goldschmidt has given the Yankees little reason to go in another direction. In any fantasy league where he's not already rostered, Goldschmidt profiles as a must-add waiver wire target.
