ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Nolan Gorman - Returns to lineup Tuesday Gorman (back) is starting at second base and batting sixth Tuesday versus Arizona.

Impact Gorman was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Cubs along with Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks, but his sore back is apparently feeling much better. The 23-year-old slugger carries an .813 OPS with 20 home runs and 62 RBI through 90 games this season.

Lars Nootbaar - Productive in win Nootbaar (heel) went 1-for-2 with three walks, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Nootbaar's removal from Sunday's game versus the Cubs with the heel issue looks to be just a precautionary thing. The outfielder has gone 11-for-39 (.282) with a 9:11 BB:K over 11 contests since the All-Star break. He's walking at a 14.4 percent rate this season while maintaining a .263/.367/.394 slash line with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 48 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 71 games.

Brendan Donovan - Racks up three hits Donovan went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact After being out of the lineup from Thursday to Saturday, Donovan has checked back in for each of the last two games. While his persistent flexor strain continues to limit him to designated hitter, he could find himself out of the lineup when other players need to rest their legs. Donovan has gone 10-for-32 (.313) since the All-Star break, and he has a .287/.371/.430 slash line with 11 home runs, 34 RBI, 44 runs scored and four stolen bases over 90 contests this season.

Nolan Arenado - Extends hitting streak with homer Arenado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Arenado is 13-for-33 (.394) with two homers and 13 RBI during his active eight-game hitting streak. His blast came in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals a 5-2 lead, which they squandered before rallying back ahead in the ninth. The third baseman is well on his way to another 30-homer campaign -- he's at 22 for the year while adding 77 RBI, 48 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .290/.338/.527 slash line through 97 contests.

Paul Goldschmidt - Goes yard Monday Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Goldschmidt has gone 12-for-42 (.286) over 10 contests since the All-Star break. Monday was his fifth multi-hit effort in that span. The first baseman's recent work is right in line with his season numbers, aside from a moderate dip in power. He's at a .285/.371/.473 slash line with 17 homers, 53 RBI, 63 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 97 contests this season.

Giovanny Gallegos - Nabs win Monday Gallegos (2-4) allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Impact After an inconsistent June, Gallegos has stabilized in July, allowing just one run 9.2 innings. The right-hander did his part to keep the Cardinals close Monday, and they rewarded him with a ninth-inning rally. Gallegos is now at a 3.92 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB through 41.1 innings. He's added eight holds, 13 saves and four blown saves, but it appears he'll remain in a setup role with Jordan Hicks closing while Ryan Helsley (forearm) remains out, though the St. Louis bullpen could change drastically in the week leading up to the trade deadline.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Wainwright - Decent in return Wainwright (shoulder) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Impact Wainwright threw 76 pitches (47 strikes) in his return from a right shoulder strain. The 41-year-old did alright in a challenging matchup, most importantly by keeping the ball in the yard, something he did just once in his last five starts before landing on the injured list. At this point in his career, he's just a back-end starter that probably won't help much in fantasy. He carries a 7.31 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 31:21 K:BB through 56.2 innings over 12 starts, with his next outing likely at home versus the Cubs over the weekend.

Impact O'Neill is 3-for-13 with a double, a stolen base and five runs scored in four games since returning from the 60-day injured list. He'll get the night off, allowing Dylan Carlson to draw the start in center field while Lars Nootbaar shifts to left.

Lars Nootbaar - Gets green light Monday Nootbaar (heel) is starting in center field and batting fourth Monday against Arizona, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nootbaar was lifted from Sunday's series finale against the Cubs with right heel soreness, but it won't force him to miss any additional action. The USC product is slashing .276/.368/.461 with three home runs, six RBI, two stolen bags and 18 runs scored through 20 appearances this month.

Ryan Helsley - Moved to 60-day IL Helsley (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Helsley has been out since June 12 after being placed on the 15-day injured list, so although he is now on the 60-day IL, the right-hander remains eligible to return Aug. 12. The transaction made room for Andrew Suarez on the 40-man roster after Suarez had his contract selected from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Iván Herrera - Optioned to Triple-A Herrera was sent to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Herrera will head back to Memphis after he spent nearly three weeks with the major-league squad, going 8-for-23 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored over eight contests. With Andrew Knizner back as the team's backup catcher, Herrera will look to continue to impress at Triple-A in order to return to St. Louis' roster later this season.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zack Thompson - Sent to Triple-A Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Thompson will return to Memphis after being called up July 5, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings in three appearances with the Cardinals while in the big leagues. The transaction opened a roster spot for Adam Wainwright (shoulder) on the major-league roster after Wainwright was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Monday.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Suárez - Contract selected by St. Louis Suarez had his contract selected from Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Monday.

Impact Suarez will get his first shot in the big leagues since 2020 after being called up Monday. The left-hander has produced a 4.08 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 69 strikeouts over 64 innings in 28 appearances, including three starts, with Memphis this season. In a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster, Ryan Helsley (forearm) was moved to the 60-day injured list.
