MLB Free Stream: Today's Venue for Yankees vs. Cardinals Game
The Major League Baseball Regular Season game between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals, set to take place at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri on Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, will be a closely watched affair.
Paul Goldschmidt, the veteran first baseman for the Cardinals, suffered a low-grade right knee sprain on August 12 while chasing a foul popup during a game against the Minnesota Twins. Despite the injury, Goldschmidt completed the game, even hitting a double before exiting.
Initially, there was concern he might go on the injured list, but by several days later, he was working through pregame routines and even fielding grounders, suggesting he was progressing well enough to avoid a stint on the injured list.
Manager Aaron Boone will evaluate Goldschmidt during the Yankees' day off and may place him on the injured list before the game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.
Goldschmidt has been a key contributor for the Cardinals this season, hitting .276 with 10 homers and 40 RBIs in 112 games. He also boasts a .996 fielding percentage and has been charged with three errors in 745 chances this year.
Cody Bellinger, who has started 273 games at first base during his career, has made two starts at the position this season. In his absence, Ben Rice made his 26th start at first base on Wednesday.
The game will be aired on YES Network, FanDuel Sports Network Indiana, and out-of-market on MLB.TV. For those who prefer to stream the game, it can be done on DirecTV (with a free trial), Sling, and fuboTV. The price for DirecTV is $84.99 per month, with a $30 discount on the first month. Sling costs $45.99 per month, while fuboTV is priced at $84.99 per month, with no free trial or promo.

As of late August 2025, Goldschmidt's status for the series remains uncertain, with final availability decisions pending based on ongoing evaluations shortly before the series. However, both Goldschmidt and Yankees manager Aaron Boone have expressed cautious optimism that he will avoid placement on the injured list and potentially be available in some capacity for the series.
The game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET. Regardless of Goldschmidt's availability, the matchup between the Yankees and Cardinals promises to be an exciting one.
Fans of Major League Baseball will be eager to watch the game between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals on August 15, 2025, which will be aired on YES Network, among other channels.
