Impact Gray was excellent Thursday, allowing a lone run on a Jackson Merrill solo homer in the fifth inning.

Impact If activated as expected, it seems Matz will be added as the extra pitcher when rosters are expanded Sunday. The southpaw completed his sixth rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis in which he gave up two eared on five hits over three innings. It still remains to be seen or reported if he will return as a starter in the rotation or long reliever. A factor that may play a part in that decision is JoJo Romero's health, who was reported as a bit more sore than his usual.

Tommy Pham - Placed on waivers The Cardinals placed Pham on waivers Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pham got off to a hot start after being acquired by St. Louis at the trade deadline, but he's just 3-for-39 over his last 15 games and has seen his playing time dwindle. The 36-year-old has a .762 OPS versus left-handed pitching and is a career .313/.333/.513 hitter in 31 postseason games, so there would seem to be a good chance a contender scoops him up on waivers. If Pham clears waivers, he will remain with the Cardinals.

Iván Herrera - Getting third start in four games Herrera will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Padres.
Impact Herrera will pick up his third start in four games behind the dish. With Willson Contreras on the injured list, Herrera is expected to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Pedro Pages rather than the Cardinals' clear-cut No. 1 option.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Carpenter - Loses DH gig to Luken Baker Carpenter is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Impact After going 1-for-12 with a home run and three walks over a stretch of five starts in six games, Carpenter's time as the Cardinals' primary designated hitter looks to have come and gone. He finds himself on the bench for a third straight game, with the Cardinals having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. Luken Baker now looks to be St. Louis' preferred option at DH.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Pedro Pagés - Sitting out Thursday Pages is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.
Impact Pages started Wednesday's contest but has now yielded to Ivan Herrera at catcher in three of five games since Herrera was recalled. Playing time between the two should be split pretty evenly while Willson Contreras (finger) is shelved.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Luken Baker - Third straight start at DH Baker will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Thursday's game versus the Padres.
Impact It's Baker's third straight start at DH, which is especially notable given that all three of them have come against right-handers. He's also batted either third or fourth in each contest. The 27-year-old has produced back-to-back 30-homer seasons at Triple-A Memphis and could be worth a look in deeper leagues if the playing time sticks.

Paul Goldschmidt - Another three-hit effort Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
Impact Goldschmidt has logged back-to-back three-hit efforts for the first time this year. Three of his five games with three or more hits have come in August, though he's still hitting a mediocre .247 (20-for-81) this month. The first baseman is up to a .235/.295/.396 slash line with 20 home runs, 53 RBI, 60 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 20 doubles over 126 contests.

Ryan Helsley - Collects win Wednesday Helsley (6-4) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres, allowing a hit and striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Impact Helsley kept the game tied at 3-3 in the ninth inning, and the Cardinals walked it off with a Nolan Arenado single in the bottom of the ninth. This was Helsley's seventh scoreless outing in a row, a span in which he's allowed five hits and two walks while striking out seven. He's at a 2.43 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 62:22 K:BB through 55.2 innings overall, and he's the only pitcher in the majors at the 40-save mark this year, which is impressive given the Cardinals are 66-67 after Wednesday's win.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Andre Pallante - Takes no-decision Wednesday Pallante allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday.
Impact Pallante has allowed no more than two runs in each of his last four starts. In that span, he's given up seven runs (six earned) with a 17:10 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He's been effective as a starter this year, pitching to a 3.50 ERA over 82.1 innings across his 14 starts. Overall, he has a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:35 K:BB through 92.1 innings. Steven Matz (back) may be an option for the Cardinals' rotation next week, but the team has considered moving to a six-man rotation in September, so Pallante may still be used as a starter to finish the campaign.
