Jordan Hicks - Available Sunday Hicks (illness) is available for Sunday's game versus the Cubs in London, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact The flame-throwing righty was unavailable for Saturday's contest due to an illness, but he likely wouldn't have pitched regardless with St. Louis losing 9-1. Hicks has recorded the Cardinals' past three saves and appears to be the club's primary closing option with Ryan Helsley (forearm) on the shelf and not close to being activated, per John Denton of MLB.com. Giovanny Gallegos could also be a factor in the ninth-inning mix.

Nolan Gorman - Back in action Sunday Gorman (illness) is starting at second base and batting sixth against the Cubs Sunday in London.
Impact The 23-year-old sat out Saturday's contest due to the illness but will rejoin the starting nine a day later. Gorman has scuffled at the plate over the past few weeks, going 3-for-47 with a 45.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 13 games.

Adam Wainwright - Loses in London Wainwright (3-2) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and a walk without recording a strikeout over three-plus innings, taking the loss in Saturday's London Series game versus the Cubs.
Impact Wainwright gave up a pair of solo home runs to Ian Happ, and the rest of the Cubs' lineup presented plenty of challenges too. Wainwright hadn't pitched fewer than five innings in any of his first eight starts this year, but this will be one to forget for the veteran. He's struggled to a 6.56 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB through 46.2 innings. His next start will likely come at home, though with Jack Flaherty (hip) questionable, it's unclear if Wainwright will face the Astros or the Yankees.

Nolan Gorman - Out of starting lineup Gorman is out of Saturday's lineup against the Cubs due to illness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Several Cardinals players have dealt with an illness across the last few days, with Gorman being the latest. He wasn't likely to be in Saturday's lineup regardless of his health, as the Cubs will be sending lefty Justin Steele to the mound. There's a strong chance that Gorman will be available off the bench to pinch-hit.

Jordan Hicks - Unavailable due to illness Hicks will not be available for Saturday's game against the Cubs due to illness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Jordan Walker was forced out of the lineup with an illness Wednesday, and Hicks is now facing a similar issue. It should be a short-term absence, but any save opportunity would likely be handled by Giovanny Gallegos on Saturday.
JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Flaherty - Scratched from weekend start Flaherty has been scratched from his start Sunday against the Cubs due to hip discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Flaherty worked 6.1 innings in his previous outing, so it's unclear when the issue popped up. Assuming it's a short-term absence, the Cardinals shouldn't have an issue filling his spot in the rotation as they have only two games in a five-day stretch that began Thursday. No starter has officially been announced in Flaherty's place.
