Pedro Pagés - Resting up Sunday Pages is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Pages appears to be the Cardinals' preferred catching option at the moment, as he had started in four of the previous five contests. He'll get a chance to rest in Sunday's matinee, however, as Ivan Herrera gets a turn behind the plate.

Brendan Donovan - On bench Sunday Donovan (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to a foot infection, and he'll remain on the bench for Sunday's series finale. Donovan will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recover ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Reds. Jose Fermin is making another start at the keystone for St. Louis.

Pedro Pagés - Delivers winning hit Saturday Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact Pages came through in the eighth inning, launching a Logan Gilbert slider over the left field fence for the only scoring play of the game. Pages has gone 4-for-14 (.286) over four games in September, but three of those hits have been homers. The catcher is up to six long balls, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and a .245/.287/.396 slash line through 172 plate appearances this season.

Andrew Kittredge - Snags another win Kittredge (4-4) allowed a hit and a run while striking out one over one scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Mariners.
Impact Kittredge kept the game scoreless in the top of the eighth inning, and the Cardinals broke through in their half of the frame with a two-run home run by Pedro Pages. Kittredge extended his scoreless streak to nine innings, a span in which he's allowed four hits and two walks while striking out seven over nine innings. The setup man has a 2.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB with one save and 32 holds over 60.1 innings this season.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Helsley - Secures 43rd save Helsley allowed a hit and struck out three over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact Helsley was able to make Pedro Pages' two-run home run in the eighth inning stand as the winning hit. Helsley blew his last save chance Tuesday versus the Brewers, but that was by allowing the initial runner to score in the 11th inning. He has not given up an earned run since Aug. 6, going 8-for-9 in save opportunities while yielding just eight hits and three walks with 16 strikeouts over 12 innings since that date. For the year, Helsley has a 2.23 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 71:23 K:BB with 43 saves in 47 attempts over 60.2 innings.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Gibson - Excellent in no-decision Gibson allowed three hits and three walks while striking out nine over 6.2 shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Impact Gibson dueled with Logan Gilbert, but the St. Louis starter ultimately didn't stay in the game long enough to get the win. He threw 112 pitches (63 strikes) in his first scoreless outing since June 14. It's an encouraging effort for Gibson, who struggled to a 5.77 ERA over 34.1 innings in August. The veteran starter has a 4.20 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 143:59 K:BB through 154.1 innings over 27 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be a road start at Toronto. Gibson should get a little extra rest down the stretch with the Cardinals expected to go to a six-man rotation starting next week when Lance Lynn (knee) comes off the injured list.

Brendan Donovan - Dealing with foot infection Donovan is sitting out Saturday's game against Seattle due to an infection in his foot, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Oliver Marmol said Donovan's infection makes it painful to put pressure on his foot, but the team is labeling him as day-to-day for the time being. Jose Fermin is slated to start at second base Saturday and would likely continue to do so if Donovan needs to miss any additional games.

Brendan Donovan - Sitting down Saturday Donovan isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game versus Seattle, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact An 0-for-4 performance Friday snapped Donovan's seven-game hitting streak, during which he went 10-for-28 with a home run, four RBI and six runs scored. His absence Saturday will put Jose Fermin at the keystone while batting eighth.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Iván Herrera - Resting Saturday Herrera isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Herrera has gone 5-for-15 with three RBI across his last five games, but he'll sit down for a second consecutive contest Saturday while Pedro Pages catches for Kyle Gibson and bats seventh.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Nolan Arenado - Back in action Saturday Arenado (shoulder) is playing third base and batting cleanup Saturday against the Mariners.
Impact Arenado left Friday's game against Seattle in the ninth inning due to shoulder soreness. The third baseman had difficulties swinging a bat leading up to his removal, but he's feeling well enough to start Saturday. Arenado is 9-for-38 (.231) with eight runs and four RBI in his last nine games.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Leahy - Optioned to Memphis The Cardinals optioned Leahy to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Leahy has turned in a 4.30 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 14.2 innings since being recalled from the minors in late-July, though he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after giving up three runs over 1.1 frames during Friday's loss. Chris Roycroft was recalled from Memphis in a corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Roycroft - Back in big leagues The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Since being optioned to Triple-A at the end of July, Roycroft has turned in a 2.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 19:6 K:BB through 17.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen to provide the big squad with a fresh arm, replacing Kyle Leahy.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Siani - Picks up steal Friday Siani went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.
Impact Siani has gone 3-for-14 with two steals and two RBI over four games since he returned from an oblique injury. The center fielder was the only Cardinal with multiple hits in Friday's contest. He's up to a .254/.295/.319 slash line with 16 thefts, two home runs, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored, six doubles and two triples through 105 contests this year.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Walker - Belts second homer Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.
Impact The 22-year-old accounted for the Cardinals' only offense when he took Troy Taylor deep in the seventh inning. Walker has two big-league homers this year, and both have come since he was called back up in late August. His 0:9 BB:K in six games since his promotion highlights how much work he needs to do to become a consistent fantasy asset, however.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Erick Fedde - Stuck with tough loss Friday Fedde (8-9) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 6-1 to the Mariners. He struck out one.
Impact The right-hander was locked in a scoreless pitchers' duel with Bryce Miller through four innings, but Fedde blinked first and loaded the bases in the fifth on a hit-by-pitch, a single and a walk before Randy Arozarena brought home the game's first run with a sacrifice fly. Matthew Liberatore relieved Fedde and prevented any further damage, but the Cards were never able to tie things back up. Over seven starts with St. Louis, Fedde has a 4.30 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB through 37.2 innings, a far cry from his numbers with the White Sox before being traded. He'll look to find his early-season form in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Toronto.
