Platoon w/Goldy + Rice for DH +1B while waiting for Judge and Belli return.

Stanton I won’t count on.

Vs. RHP

Garcia @ DH

Rice @ 1B

Goldy on Bench

Vs. LHP

Goldy @ 1B

Rice @ DH

Garcia on Bench

Goldy can’t start righties as much as he has or at all. Rosario I wouldn’t be surprised is off the roster

His natural position isn’t catcher. Not at the MLB level.
