Enters lineup Sunday Goodrum is starting at shortstop and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Goodrum didn't start Friday or Saturday, but he'll reenter the lineup Sunday. The team has recently given Isaac Paredes time at shortstop, though he's starting at third base Sunday. Goodrum has struggled offensively with a .203/.286/.305 line, so it's possible he's out of the lineup more frequently moving forward unless he gets going at the plate.

Swipes 10th base Tuesday Goodrum went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Goodrum hasn't done much offensively this season, batting just .223 with a .643 OPS, though at least he's been able to provide 10 stolen bases in 13 attempts. The 29-year-old reached double figures in both steals and home runs in 2018 and 2019, so he could offer a nice mix of speed and power the rest of the way, though he figures to remain a drain on batting average for fantasy managers, as he's never batted better than .248 in a season.
