NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt has a low-grade right knee sprain and the New York Yankees may place the veteran first baseman on the injured list ahead of his return to St. Louis this weekend. The Yankees will evaluate Goldschmidt during their day off and will decide before Friday’s game against the Cardinals if he will be placed on the IL. “He’s dealing with something so we’ll see if it’s an IL situation,” manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday’s 4-1 loss to Minnesota.
