Drew Rom - Better in second start Rom (0-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.
Impact It was certainly a better performance from Rom after he allowed eight runs (six earned) across 3.2 innings in his big-league debut. Still, the rookie left-hander took a second loss as the Cardinals offense couldn't crack Aaron Nola in a 3-0 defeat. Rom had shown some promise in the minors this season, working to a 2.70 ERA while striking out 45 over his last seven Triple-A starts (33.1 innings). Sunday's outing could earn him another shot in the Cardinals' rotation -- Rom would currently line up for a home matchup with the Pirates next week.

Lars Nootbaar - Nearing return from IL Nootbaar (abdomen) is expected to be activated from the injured list within the next week, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Nootbaar was placed on the IL on Aug. 17 after taking a foul tip to a sensitive area. He's responded well to a recent uptick in baseball activities and should rejoin the Cardinals on their upcoming homestand, which runs from Aug. 28 to Sept. 3.

Masyn Winn - Not in lineup Sunday Winn is not in the lineup Sunday at Philadelphia.
Impact Tommy Edman will start at shortstop and bat leadoff as Nolan Gorman covers second base and Richie Palacios patrols center field. Winn, 21, has gone 5-for-29 (.172) with zero home runs and one stolen base through his first eight major-league games.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler O'Neill - Scratched with knee discomfort O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies due to left knee discomfort, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Richie Palacios will instead start in center field and bat eighth as the Cardinals close out their three-game weekend series at Philadelphia. The oft-injured O'Neill is presumably day-to-day.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nolan Arenado - Returns as designated hitter Arenado (back) is serving as the Cardinals' designated hitter Sunday at Philadelphia.
Impact Arenado sat out Saturday's game after making an early exit from Friday's series opener due to lower-back tightness, but he apparently feels well enough to fill the DH role in Sunday's series finale. Taylor Motter will start at third base for the visiting Cardinals.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Guillermo Zuñiga - Placed on 15-day IL St. Louis placed Zuniga on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 25, with a right forearm strain.
Impact Zuniga has made only two appearances this season at the major-league level and could struggle to make it back before the end of the 2023 campaign. James Naile has been called up to the Cardinals' bullpen in a corresponding move.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
James Naile - Recalled from Memphis St. Louis recalled Naile from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.
Impact Naile has posted an ugly 9.64 ERA in 14 innings of work this season at the major-league level, but the Cardinals need a fresh bullpen arm after having to place Guillermo Zuniga (forearm) on the 15-day injured list.

Luken Baker - Belts first big-league homer Baker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Phillies.
Impact Baker produced St. Louis' lone run of the contest with his solo shot off Zack Wheeler in the third inning. It was the 26-year-old's first major-league long ball, and there may be many more to come if his 33 homers over 84 games in the minors this season is any indication. Baker has played sparingly during his two call-ups to the big club, though he could start to see more opportunities down the stretch with the Cardinals sitting 12 games out of an NL wild-card spot.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dakota Hudson - Takes first loss Hudson (5-1) allowed five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in a loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.
Impact Hudson came into the contest having won each of his previous four starts, but he couldn't continue that streak against the Phillies. The right-hander made it through two scoreless frames, but Philadelphia tagged him for at least one run in each of the remaining innings in which he pitched. The five total runs Hudson allowed tied a campaign-high mark, and Saturday was the first time he's issued more than three walks in an outing this season. Despite a 5-1 record, Hudson's 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 49 innings make him far from a reliable fantasy asset.

Jordan Walker - Sitting Saturday Walker isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Walker will get a breather Saturday after going 4-for-18 with an RBI and two runs scored across his last five games. Alec Burleson will take over in right field and bat second while Walker rests.
AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nolan Arenado - Remains out Saturday Arenado (back) isn't starting Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Arenado had to leave Friday's contest after his back tightened up on him mid-game, and the issue is apparently serious enough to warrant him missing a start Saturday. Nolan Gorman will start at third base in Arenado's place while Tommy Edman starts at second and Luken Baker serves as the Cards' DH.
