On base thrice in loss DeJong went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, two walks and a run in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.
Impact It wasn't the most thrilling of stat lines for fantasy managers, but there was certainly some production to be gleaned from DeJong's solid day. The shortstop still sports an impressive .369 on-base percentage on the season thanks in part to a career-high 12.6 percent walk rate, but he's seen his average drop 37 points to .284 thus far in September thanks to a middling 10-for-42 tally at the plate over the first 14 games of the month.

Impact DeJong drove in a pair of runs in the matinee and kicked off the scoring in the nightcap with a solo shot to left field in the second inning for an overall productive twin bill. The shortstop is hitting an even .300 on the season with a .845 OPS, three home runs and 15 RBI.

Launches second homer DeJong went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 win over the Reds.
Impact His fourth-inning blast with the bases loaded chased Anthony DeSclafani from the game and proved to be the decisive hit in the game after the Cards' bullpen made things interesting. DeJong has two homers and 12 RBI through 14 games, but it's his .321 batting average that's wildly exceeding expectations.

Collects another three hits DeJong went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored Sunday against Cleveland.
Impact DeJong recorded his second three-hit effort in the Cardinals weekend series against Cleveland. However, his ability to hit for extra-bases was an encouraging sign, as he had logged just one double, no home runs and no triples in his first 27 at-bats since being activated from the injured list. For the season, DeJong is now hitting .313/.358/.458 across 53 plate appearances.
AUGUST 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Posts three hits DeJong went 3-for-4 in Friday's 14-2 loss to Cleveland.
Impact All three of DeJong's hits were singles. The shortstop has gone 8-for-22 (.364) with four RBI and two runs scored in six games since returning from his bout with COVID-19. He's slashing .308/.364/.436 with a homer, eight RBI and five runs scored overall in 11 contests this year.
AUGUST 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting Thursday DeJong is not starting Thursday against the Pirates.
Impact DeJong has appeared in four straight games since returning from the injured list, going 5-for-15 with four RBI in the process. Tommy Edman is manning shortstop in this one, with Brad Miller covering third base.
AUGUST 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Raps out three hits DeJong went 3-for-4 with an RBI infield single in a loss to the Royals on Tuesday.
Impact After an 0-for-4 day upon his return to action Sunday against the Reds, DeJong is now 4-for-9 with four RBI over the subsequent two games. The shortstop is still looking to get his power production going in earnest, however, as he has just one home run over his first 32 plate appearances after averaging a round tripper every 22.1 trips to the batter's box in 2019.

AUGUST 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drives in three DeJong went 1-for-3 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.
Impact After going hitless in his return from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, DeJong was able to contribute to a Cardinals' win with some nice at-bats Monday. He got the Redbirds on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first and extended the lead to 4-0 with a two-run double in the fifth. The shortstop has six hits in 25 at-bats this season.

AUGUST 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hitless in return DeJong, who was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a win over the Reds on Sunday.
Impact DeJong was logging his first game action since July 29, so it isn't surprising his timing may have been a bit off. The slugging shortstop should be primed for his usual everyday role moving forward.
