Dylan Carlson - Absence related to elbow bruise Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated that Carlson's absence from Monday's lineup is related to the left elbow contusion he suffered Friday versus the Mets, Lynn Worthy of the...
Impact Carlson returned to the lineup Sunday after not starting Saturday, but with Lars Nootbaar (back) returning from the injured list Monday, Marmol felt it was best to give Carlson another day. While the lingering elbow soreness might be an additional factor, Carlson also is at risk of losing regular at-bats with Nootbaar back and the team committed to Tommy Edman in center field.

Packy Naughton - Slated for surgery Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol confirmed Monday that Naughton (forearm) will undergo surgery June 26, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Marmol didn't specify whether Naughton would require Tommy John surgery or another kind of arm procedure, but the southpaw looks set to miss extended time in any case. Naughton has been on the shelf since April 8 with a strained left forearm and experienced a setback just three pitches into his first rehab appearance at Triple-A Memphis earlier this month.

Jordan Walker - Gets first start at DH Walker is in the designated hitter spot and batting sixth Monday against the Nationals.
Impact Walker's first career start at DH coincides with Lars Nootbaar's (back) return from the injured list. While it's difficult to imagine the Cardinals will confine Walker to DH at this point in his career, it's pretty clear their best defensive alignment doesn't Brendan Donovan will be in left field Monday.

Lars Nootbaar - Starting in RF, batting third Nootbaar is starting in right field and batting third Monday versus the Nationals in his first game back from the injured list.
Impact The Cardinals are going with an outfield of Brendan Donovan in left field, Tommy Edman in center and Nootbaar in right. Jordan Walker will slide into the designated hitter spot and Dylan Carlson will begin the contest on the bench.
JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Carlson - Absent from Monday's lineup Carlson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Lars Nootbaar is back from the injured list and playing right field, while Tommy Edman is remaining in center. That puts Carlson on the bench, at least for Monday.
JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lars Nootbaar - Brought back from IL The Cardinals reinstated Nootbaar (back) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener in Washington.
Impact St. Louis activated Nootbaar after he capped off a three-game rehab assignment at Double-A Springfield with a four-hit, two-homer effort Sunday. Now healthy again after a three-week absence due to a lower-back contusion, Nootbaar should settle back into a near-everyday role in the corner outfield while likely occupying a spot near the top of the batting order when St. Louis faces right-handed pitching.

Luken Baker - Heads back to minors The Cardinals optioned Baker to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact He'll move back to the minors to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Lars Nootbaar (back), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Following his promotion from Memphis on June 4, Baker started at designated hitter in his first two games with the Cardinals, but he cracked the lineup just once in the team's subsequent 11 contests. He'll get the chance to play on a regular basis in his return to Triple-A.

Brendan Donovan - Knocks three hits in win Donovan went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.
Impact Donovan has been seeing the ball well lately, going 15-for-39 (.385) over his last nine games, a span that includes five multi-hit efforts. He continues to be a versatile utility man, capable of filling in all around the diamond while rarely hitting the bench. Donovan's recent surge has him up to a .267/.356/.380 slash line, six home runs, 18 RBI, 32 runs scored and four stolen bases through 66 contests.

Tommy Edman - Picks up another steal Edman went 0-for-1 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.
Impact Edman has four steals in his last 11 games despite batting a paltry .105 (4-for-38) with five walks in that span. While he was able to find a way on base multiple times Sunday, that's been a rarity lately -- it's his strong defense in center field that has kept him in the lineup. Edman is at a .233/.299/.401 slash line with 12 stolen bases, seven home runs, 26 RBI and 35 runs scored across 253 plate appearances.
