Nolan Gorman - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Swipes bag in win Gorman went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Tigers.

Impact Gorman returned to the starting lineup Sunday after making consecutive appearances off the bench due to lower-back tightness. The 23-year-old reached in the sixth, stole second and scored in what wound up being a seven-run inning for the Cardinals. For the year, Gorman is slashing .255/.347/.510 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 10 runs, three steals and a 14:32 BB:K over 118 plate appearances. He has only made starts against right-handers so far.

Rejoins lineup Sunday Gorman (back) is starting at second base and batting third Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact The 22-year-old was limited to pinch-hitting duties the past two games due to lower-back tightness, but he's back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale versus Detroit. Gorman has struggled at the plate over his past nine contests, going 4-for-28 with a solo home run, a stolen base and 11 strikeouts.

Still sidelined Gordman (back) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Gorman exited Thursday's game against the Angels with lower-back tightness and didn't start Friday's series opener against the Tigers, though he did appear as a pinch hitter. That suggests he could be available in a similar capacity Saturday. The Cardinals will certainly be hoping Gorman's back issue is a minor one, as the second-year slugger has hit seven homers in 29 games this season while slashing .265/.348/.531.

Sitting out Friday Gorman (back) is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Gorman was pulled from Thursday's series finale against the Angels due to lower back tightness, though he might have been on the bench either way Friday with left-hander Matthew Boyd set to toe the slab for Detroit. Willson Contreras will take a turn at DH and bat third. Andrew Knizner is catching and batting ninth.

Pulled with lower back tightness Gorman was removed from Thursday's loss to the Angels due to lower back tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact That helps to explain why manager Oli Marmol oddly turned to Taylor Motter in Gorman's place as the Cardinals were trying to spark a comeback in the bottom of the sixth inning. Gorman, who finished 0-for-3 with a run scored, is considered day-to-day leading into Friday's series opener against the Tigers.

Hits seventh homer of season Gorman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Angels.

Impact Gorman is well on pace to hit more homers than he did in his rookie season last year (14). In fact, the designated hitter is posting better statistics across the board, showing why he was the 19th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. The 22-year-old is slashing .277/.361/.553 to start the year.

He's still striking out at a 29.0 percent clip, but Gorman has a steady .279/.370/.547 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, seven runs scored, five doubles and two steals through 100 plate appearances.

Impact The Cardinals couldn't get much going in the contest, but Gorman and Willson Contreras tried to provide a spark with a double-steal in the forth inning. Gorman's more of a slugger -- this was his first attempt on the basepaths this season, and he's matched his total in stolen bases from 89 games last year.
