Goodman

Taking advantage of the conditions in Las Vegas, the teams combined for eight homers today, with the Rockies responsible for six of them. Goodman is now up to 20 homers on the season, and he took Jeffrey Springs deep in the first inning to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. That was one of six homers on the day for Colorado, and the slugger added a second while also singling thrice for a five-hit night. Goodman has looked the part again in 2026, and there’s not much reason to think he won’t be among the best fantasy catchers in baseball for the foreseeable future.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead with a shot to right-center off Colin Rea in the first inning. The 26-year-old also drew a pair of walks, and the three-reach game gives him a slash of .243/.319/.526 with 18 homers and 33 runs driven in. The lack of RBI is a smidgen frustrating, but not really in his control. Goodman has established himself as one of the best fantasy catchers in the sport.

Goodman’s home run was his 17th. The 26-year-old catcher hit a solo shot off Craig Yoho in the ninth inning. Goodman is hitting .242 with an .828 OPS, 39 runs, 31 RBI and five stolen bases. So far it’s been a solid follow-up to his 2025 season, when he hit 31 home runs and knocked in 91 runs.

Goodman drew a walk and stole second in the first inning for his fifth steal of the season. He then went yard with a solo homer off Brandon Sproat in the third. Goodman later tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth to bring home a run. The 26-year-old slugger has homered in five of his last nine games. Friday’s blast was his 16th of the season while hitting .245/.316/.514 with 38 runs scored and 29 RBI across 244 plate appearances.

Goodman put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Grayson Rodriguez to lead off the second inning, a 111 mph shot to left field. He then drew a walk in the third and doubled in the ninth. The 26-year-old slugger has homered in back-to-back games and four times in his last seven. Goodman is up to 15 on the season while hitting .243/.311/.500 with 36 runs scored and 27 RBI across 235 plate appearances.

Goodman’s blast with a pair of runners on was reviewed, but ultimately was deemed a roundtripper the tied the game at 6-6. The 26-year-old also doubled for the ninth time, while the homer was the 13th. Goodman’s .242 average leaves a bit to be desired, but the power production from behind the plate has helped make up for that figure.

Goodman had the Rockies’ only run through eight innings, a solo blast off Eric Lauer in the second inning. Goodman was replaced later in the game as the Dodgers ran up the score. The home run was Goodman’s 12th of the season while hitting .242/.301/.474 with 31 runs scored and 20 RBI across 206 plate appearances.

Goodman stole exactly one base in 2023, ’24, ’25 and in 46 games in ’26 coming into the game, so this is obviously his first career two-steal game. His singles tonight came on a grounder and a liner. He had a 101-mph fly that would have been a homer in 17 ballparks, according to Statcast, but it turned into an out at Chase Field.

Goodman clobbered a 387-foot (111.4 mph EV) solo shot in the first inning, but all that did was pull the Rockies to within five runs at 6-1. That would be their only offense in the game. The 26-year-old backstop finished the evening 1-for-4 and is now hitting .247/.310/.513 with 11 homers and 19 RBI on the season.

Goodman receives a break after handling the catching duties in three of Colorado’s last four games. He spent the other contest at DH. It’ll be a full night off for the slugging backstop, who is up to 10 round-trippers already through just 38 games this season. It’ll be Brett Sullivan behind the dish in his place on Wednesday evening.
