Masyn Winn - Grabs hit in debut Winn went 1-for-4 in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Mets.
Impact Winn started at shortstop and knocked his first hit, a single, in the fifth inning. The top prospect has looked major-league ready for much of the year after slashing .288/.259/.474 with 18 home runs, 17 stolen bases and 61 RBI over 105 games with Triple-A Memphis. The Cardinals will likely do everything to preserve his rookie status, which means he cannot spend more than 45 days on the big-league roster or accrue over 130 at-bats. While Winn is likely to see the bulk of the time at shortstop, his at-bats are likely to be managed by keeping him at or near the bottom of the order for the remainder of the season.

Zack Thompson - Takes fifth loss Thompson (2-5) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Mets.
Impact Thompson was greeted by Brandon Nimmo's leadoff shot to begin the game but still turned in a decent outing. It was Thompson's longest appearance of the year and first start since officially moving into the Cardinals' rotation. Over his last three trips to the mound, he's given up just four runs while posting an 18:2 K:BB through 13 innings. His next start is currently lined up to be in Pittsburgh next week.

Alec Burleson - Not starting Friday Burleson isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Friday against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact After going 0-for-1 with a sacrifice fly in Thursday's series opener, Burleson will once again retreat to the dugout to begin Friday's game. Burleson's absence opens up a chance for Paul Goldschmidt to serve as the DH, allowing Luken Baker to start at first base.

Masyn Winn - Batting ninth in debut Winn is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in his major-league debut Friday versus the Mets.
Impact Winn is set to take over as the Cardinals' regular shortstop down the stretch after being promoted from Triple-A Memphis, where he batted .288/.359/.474 with 18 home runs, 61 RBI and 17 stolen bases over 105 games. With the 21-year-old occupying shortstop and Lars Nootbaar (abdomen) on the injured list, Tommy Edman is starting in center field Friday.

Tyler O'Neill - Smacks seventh homer O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.
Impact O'Neill's hitting has been a bit spotty in August -- he's batting .182 over 14 games this month, but five of his eight hits in that span have been homers. The outfielder gave the Cardinals a seventh-inning spark in Thursday's loss. For the season, he's at a .235/.316/.406 slash line, seven homers, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases over 51 contests. He's still seeing a starting role in left field, though he could also work in tandem with Tommy Edman to cover center field while Lars Nootbaar (abdomen) and Dylan Carlson (oblique) are on the injured list.

Jake Woodford - On rehab assignment Woodford (shoulder) made his third rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Memphis, striking out three over 1.2 innings.
Impact Woodford had made two appearances for Double-A Springfield before advancing to Memphis as he works his way back from a right shoulder strain. He could get some starts down the stretch for a Cardinals club whose rotation depth has been depleted by trades and injury, but he'll need to build up more before that happens.
AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Wainwright - Allows three runs in loss Wainwright (3-8) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Mets. He struck out two.
Impact Wainwright actually pitched well Thursday, logging his second quality start of the season while allowing just four hits. The only damage against the veteran right-hander came via a two-run homer from Pete Alonso in the fourth and an RBI double from Francisco Lindor in the fifth, though he also issued three walks on the afternoon. Wainwright still holds a 16.20 ERA through three August starts and he's now walked at least two batters in 11 of his 16 outings this season.

Ryan Helsley - Cleared to resume rehab assignment Helsley (forearm) will resume his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Memphis, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact This is a quick turnaround, as Helsley was just pulled off his rehab assignment Wednesday due to renewed discomfort in the forearm he strained back in mid-June. Multiple rounds of imaging scans taken this week showed no structural damage and he might again be on track to reclaim the closer role in St. Louis before the end of August.
