Goldschmidt set to DH for D-backs in Texas

CINCINNATI -- D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said first baseman Paul Goldschmidt will likely be the club's designated hitter in at least one and maybe both of its upcoming games against the Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Monday and Tuesday.

"Paul wants to play every inning of every game," Lovullo said. "That is why he is a great leader. He wants to go out there every day and not have any innings taken away from him. Whether it will be one or two [games], I have not made that decision but it will definitely be one as a DH.
