Willson Contreras - Out with bruised hand Contreras (hand) is not in the lineup Wednesday at Baltimore.

Nolan Gorman - Lands on IL with hamstring strain St. Louis placed Gorman on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right hamstring strain.

Impact Gorman suffered the injury while legging out an infield single in Tuesday's win at Baltimore and will be sidelined until at least next weekend. The 23-year-old slugger leaves behind an .805 OPS with 27 homers and 76 RBI through 119 games this season with the Cardinals, who have called up Juniel Querecuto from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding roster move.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Goldschmidt - Goes yard in win Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact Goldschmidt welcomed Baltimore starter John Means back from Tommy John surgery with a first-inning solo shot. This was Goldschmidt's second homer over 10 games in September and his 24th long ball of the year, though he's hitting just .200 this month. The small slump has him down to a .272/.363/.452 slash line with 74 RBI, 82 runs scored, 26 doubles and 10 stolen bases through 140 contests overall.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Helsley - Secures ninth save Helsley picked up the save in Tuesday's win over Baltimore, tossing a perfect inning.

Impact Helsley needed just seven pitches to set down the top of Baltimore's lineup in order, securing a 5-2 victory. The 29-year-old flamethrower has successfully converted the Cardinals' last two save opportunities, posting five consecutive scoreless appearances since his return from injury Sept. 1. As of now, Helsley seems to have returned to primary closing duties for the Cardinals.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Richie Palacios - Goes deep twice off bench Palacios went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Baltimore.

Impact Entering as a pinch-runner in the second inning for an injured Nolan Gorman, Palacios took advantage of the opportunity, blasting a pair of solo home runs. After going deep just once in his first 150 career at-bats, the 26-year-old outfielder launched homers in back-to-back plate appearances Tuesday. In limited action since getting promoted from the minors Aug. 16, Palacios has posted a slash line of .317/.349/.585 with two doubles, three home runs, eight RBI and one steal across 16 games.

Adam Wainwright - Bounceback victory in Baltimore Wainwright (4-11) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings against Baltimore. He struck out three.

Impact Wainwright held the first-place Orioles scoreless until the fifth inning, when the first three batters reached and two runs came around to score in the frame. The 42-year-old veteran left with a lead that would not be relinquished, earning his first win since June 17. In the 11 outings between wins, Wainwright went 0-10 with a 10.72 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and a lackluster 25:23 K:BB across 45.1 innings. He currently lines up for a home matchup with the Brewers in his next outing.

Willson Contreras - Three hits, two RBI in loss Contreras went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Contreras has multiple hits in five of his last nine games, going 13-for-35 (.371) with six home runs and 15 RBI in that span. It's a strong push for the catcher, who has struggled to adjust in his first year with the Cardinals. He's at a .261/.353/.461 slash line with 19 homers, 66 RBI, 53 runs scored, six stolen bases and 26 doubles over 120 contests, and he appears set to close out the season strong.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lars Nootbaar - Produces 10th steal Nootbaar went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Nootbaar has cooled off in September, going 7-for-35 (.200) across 10 games this month. Four of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases, and he's added two steals. The outfielder continues to see a near-everyday role and some time atop the Cardinals' lineup. He's slashing .275/.381/.445 with 10 thefts, 13 home runs, 42 RBI, 67 runs scored and 21 doubles through 100 contests this season.

Dakota Hudson - Blasted for seven runs Hudson (6-2) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out two.

Impact Hudson entered the bottom of the fifth with a 5-3 lead and a chance to put himself in position for the victory but recorded only one out while allowing a run and loading the bases prior to being pulled. Andre Pallante replaced Hudson and promptly allowed a grand slam to Cedric Mullins which closed the door on Hudson's outing and the Cardinals' chances. Hudson has now allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts. His next chance for redemption is scheduled to come this weekend in a tough home matchup with the Phillies.
