Masyn Winn - Heating up at Triple-A Winn has a .329/.385/.543 slash line with three home runs, two steals and an 11.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 70 at-bats with Triple-A Memphis.
Impact He is still well below the International League average on the season (86 wRC+), but Winn is eight months younger than the next youngest qualified hitter in the league (Jhonkensy Noel) and four months younger than the next youngest qualified hitter at Triple-A (Tyler Soderstrom). Winn doesn't turn 22 until spring training of next year, and he projects as the Cardinals' shortstop of the future.

Willson Contreras - Homers in return Contreras went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Impact Contreras missed two games while recovering from a tooth procedure and made a big impact in his return. After a tumultous first three months in his Cardinals tenure went 11-for-17 (.647) over his last five contests heading into the All-Star break. The surge has him up to a respectable .240/.334/.419 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored, five stolen bases and 20 doubles through 79 contests overall.
JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
JoJo Romero - Secures extra-inning win Romero (1-0) walked one and struck out three over two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the extra-inning win over the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Romero was charged with three runs (two earned) in one inning in his previous appearance, but he was sharper Sunday. He pitched the ninth inning and stayed in for the 10th after the Cardinals gained the lead. Romero has a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB through 12.1 major-league innings this season.
JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Matz - Strong in return to rotation Matz allowed an unearned run on two hits and struck out nine over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Matz was taken out of the rotation in late May and showed well as a reliever with a 2.81 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 16 innings across eight relief appearances. He carried over the success in a return to the rotation Sunday, where he was only charged with a run on an RBI single by Elvis Andrus in the third inning. Matz concludes a challenging first half with a 4.65 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 69:25 K:BB over 71.2 innings through 19 appearances (11 starts). With the rest of the Cardinals' rotation lacking consistency, Matz may have a good chance to remain a starter following the All-Star break.

Willson Contreras - Back in action Sunday Contreras (mouth) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Contreras sat out both of the past two days while recovering from a tooth procedure, but he'll check back into the starting lineup for the final game before the All-Star break. Ivan Herrera will return to the bench to make room in the starting nine for Contreras.
JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Carlson - Hits bench Sunday Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact With Tommy Edman (wrist) recently moving to the injured list, Carlson has emerged as a near-everyday player in the outfield. Though he started in each of the previous six games while going 3-for-15 with a whopping eight walks, Carlson will get a breather Sunday as the Cardinals give a spot start to Alec Burleson in the corner outfield.
JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brendan Donovan - Out of Sunday's lineup Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact The 26-year-old has been limited to serving as St. Louis' designated hitter over the past week while dealing with arm pain, though he's still found plenty of success at the plate with a 1.004 OPS in his last eight contests. Donovan is scheduled to start a throwing program during the All-Star break, per Jones, though it'll likely be at least a couple more weeks before he's potentially cleared to play in the field.

Jordan Walker - Launches eighth homer Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact His ninth-inning shot off Tanner Banks gave Walker his second homer and third extra-base hit in the last four games. The rookie outfielder has solidified his spot in the St. Louis lineup since returning from Triple-A at the beginning of June, batting .296 (32-for-108) over his last 30 games with six of his eight home runs on the year and 14 of his 25 RBI.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Hicks - Nails down seventh save Hicks gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his seventh save of the season in a 3-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact The right-hander continues to thrive since his move back into the closer role. Over his last nine appearances, Hicks has converted seven of eight save chances while posting a 2.16 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings. Ryan Helsley (forearm) appears to be on track to return to the St. Louis bullpen before the end of July, but if Hicks keeps performing at this level, he could well retain at least a share of the team's ninth-inning duties -- although he could also find himself traded to a contender by then, before he reaches free agency next offseason.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miles Mikolas - Blanks ChiSox for fifth win Mikolas (5-5) picked up the win Saturday, allowing four hits over seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the White Sox. He struck out six without walking a batter.
Impact All four hits were singles, and Chicago couldn't even get a runner past second base against the veteran right-hander. Mikolas tossed 71 of 95 pitches for strikes en route to his first win since May 30 and sixth quality start of the year. He'll take a 4.23 ERA and 78:24 K:BB through 112.2 innings into the second half.
