Nolan Gorman - Homers twice in win Gorman went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Wednesday's 11-7 win at Arizona.
Impact Gorman went 0-for-4 in his return to the lineup Tuesday after missing two games with a back issue, but he busted out with two homers and his fifth three-hit game of the season Wednesday. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the second half with five homers and a .359/.405/.821 slash line in 11 games since the All-Star break.

Jack Flaherty - Allows three runs in no-decision Flaherty took a no-decision Wednesday in Arizona after he gave up three runs on eight hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander was staked a 2-0 lead but was unable to maintain the advantage as the Diamondbacks tallied two runs in the third inning and another in the sixth. Flaherty has given up at least three runs in each of his past three starts and has a 5.29 ERA across 17 innings during that stretch. It was likely his last start with the Cardinals since his next turn through the rotation won't come until after the trade deadline.

Nolan Gorman - Hitless in return Gorman (back) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Gorman missed two games while dealing with back pain. Entering Tuesday, he had gone 11-for-26 (.423) over his last eight games. He's at a .239/.321/.482 slash line with 20 home runs, 62 RBI, 43 runs scored and five stolen bases through 91 contests. Gorman should continue to see a starting role at second base while Brendan Donovan remains on a no-throw program.
JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Willson Contreras - Two hits in return Contreras went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Contreras missed a couple of games while tending to right hip tightness. He was the only Cardinal to log multiple hits in this contest, though they had just five as a team. The catcher is batting .442 (19-for-43) in July, a surge that has him up to a .248/.343/.429 slash line with 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and five stolen bases through 87 games overall.
JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
JoJo Romero - Takes loss Tuesday Romero (2-1) allowed two runs on two hits over one inning to take the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.
Impact Romero was perfect in the seventh inning, but manager Oliver Marmol left him in to begin the eighth. That ended up being a costly mistake, as Romero surrendered two hits and Chris Stratton would go on to give up a tiebreaking two-run triple. Romero has given up a pair of runs in each of his last two appearances, bringing his recent 7.1-inning scoreless streak to a screeching halt. The southpaw is at 4.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB through 19.2 innings, but he likely remains the Cardinals' top lefty reliever over Andrew Suarez.
JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Matz - Throws quality start Matz allowed five hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact Matz completed six frames for the first time this season, and this was one of his sharpest outings. He's allowed six runs (five earned) over 20.2 innings across four starts since rejoining the Cardinals' rotation. The strong stretch has him at a reasonable 4.34 ERA despite a 1.44 WHIP and 85:30 K:BB through 87 innings through 22 appearances (14 starts). Matz has likely solidified his place in the rotation, so he can be projected for a home start against the Cubs this weekend.
JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Willson Contreras - Ready to go Tuesday Contreras (hip) is starting at catcher and batting fifth Tuesday versus Arizona, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Contreras will return to the lineup after he missed the last two contests with right hip tightness. The 31-year-old has gone 6-for-20 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and two runs scored over seven contests since the All-Star break.
