Nolan Arenado - Resting Tuesday Arenado is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Arenado is absent from the starting nine for the first time since July 30 for what appears to be a maintenance day. The third baseman will yield to Jose Fermin at the hot corner.

Riley O'Brien - Recalled from Triple-A The Cardinals recalled O'Brien from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact O'Brien made the Cardinals' Opening Day roster but suffered a flexor strain in his first appearance and missed the remainder of the first half. He has pitched well since resurfacing at Memphis, posting a 1.35 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings, to earn another look with the big club.

Shawn Armstrong - Jettisoned from 40-man roster The Cardinals designated Armstrong for assignment Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Armstrong was acquired from the Rays in the Dylan Carlson trade and has pitched well with a 2.84 ERA and 12:2 K:BB over 12.2 innings. The Cardinals are likely hoping the right-hander gets claimed so they can clear a bit of salary. Riley O'Brien will replace Armstrong on the roster and in the bullpen.

Brendan Donovan - Triples in three-hit performance Donovan went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Impact Donovan entered Monday just 1-for-18 over his previous five games. He was steady at the plate, though he had few opportunities to help in run production after a poor showing from the heart of the Cardinals' lineup. Donovan has hit .272 (22-for-81) in August and now sports a .266/.331/.393 slash line through 124 contests overall. The utility man has added 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 52 runs scored, 27 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases. Since Nolan Gorman was sent down to Triple-A Memphis, Donovan has been the Cardinals' primary second baseman.

Masyn Winn - On base four times in loss Winn went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Impact Winn was an effective table-setter Monday, scoring twice on hits by Alec Burleson as the Cardinals got three-hit efforts from the first two batters in the lineup. Over his last 11 games, Winn has gone 17-for-47 (.362) with four extra-base hits. The shortstop continues to impress in his first full season, maintaining a .282/.329/.420 slash line with 11 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 122 contests.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Alec Burleson - Three hits, two RBI in loss Burleson went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Impact Burleson hit an RBI double in the seventh inning and an RBI single in the ninth, but the Cardinals failed to make a rally out of either of those scoring plays -- the team's Nos. 3-5 hitters combined to go 0-for-12 with one walk. Burleson has been steady in August, batting .259 with six extra-base hits and nine RBI over 21 contests, though it has been a noticeably quieter month for him than July was. The slugger is at a .277/.312/.456 slash line with 21 home runs, 72 RBI, 59 runs scored, 17 doubles and eight stolen bases across 122 games this season.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Gibson - Hammered for seven runs Gibson (7-6) allowed seven runs on five hits and four walks over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Padres.
Impact Gibson coughed up a two-run shot to Manny Machado in the first inning and set the tone for a poor performance. The Padres scored another pair in the third inning before piling on four more runs in the fifth. Gibson has given up 15 earned runs over 14.1 innings in his last three starts, driving his season ERA up from 3.99 to 4.54 in the process. Since his last win July 7, he's gone 0-3 with a 5.86 ERA over eight outings. Gibson is projected for a road matchup with the Yankees this weekend.

Willson Contreras - Avoiding surgery Contreras won't require surgery on his fractured right middle finger, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Contreras will be considered no impact for the next three weeks, but if all goes well, he'll be cleared to start a progression at that time. It's unclear how long he would need to ramp back up, but he'd need to do so quickly to have a chance to return for the final week or two of the regular season.

Matt Carpenter - Picking up starts against righties Carpenter will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Monday's game against the Padres.
Impact Carpenter has been the main beneficiary thus far of the Cardinals' decision to demote the struggling Nolan Gorman to Triple-A Memphis last Wednesday. With Gorman out of the mix, Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson have been seeing most of their starts lately at second base and in left field, respectively, leaving the DH spot available for Carpenter. Though he'll be getting his fifth start in the Cardinals' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, Carpenter has yet to do much with the opportunity. He's gone 0-for-11 with three walks over his last five contests.

Steven Matz - Dialing back workload on rehab Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Matz (back) will have his pitch count scaled back to 65 in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Memphis, Lynn Worthy of the St. Loui...
Impact That's after he threw 85 pitches in his last outing with Memphis. The idea behind reducing Matz's workload is to keep him flexible for a variety of roles when he rejoins the Cardinals, as it sounds like he could be used as a starter or a reliever or both. Tuesday's rehab appearance is expected to be the final one before Matz is activated from the 60-day injured list. He's been out since late April due to a herniated disc in his back.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Siani - Cleared for rehab assignment Siani (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Siani will play five innings in center field in his first rehab game and continue to build up from there. He would seem to be tracking toward a return within the next week or so. Siani has been shelved since early August with a right oblique strain.

Lance Lynn - Slated for rehab start this weekend Lynn (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis either on Friday or Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lynn threw approximately 75 pitches in a live practice session Monday and will test things in an official game setting next. He should be stretched out enough for a return to the big leagues after that, although it does not seem to be a guarantee that he'll rejoin the Cardinals' rotation at that time. Lynn has been out since late July with right knee inflammation.

Pedro Pagés - Not in Monday's lineup Pages is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Pages and Ivan Herrera will handle the catching duties with Willson Contreras (finger) out, with Pages likely to see better than a 50-50 share. It will be Herrera behind the dish for the Cardinals' series opener against San Diego.

Lance Lynn - Appears headed for September return Lynn (knee) is scheduled to throw another live batting practice session Monday but will likely require at least a couple more weeks to get stretched back out before the Cardinals a...
Impact Lynn was placed on the IL on July 31 with right knee inflammation and seems to be making good progress, as he already threw a live BP session of approximately 45 pitches on Aug. 20. According to MLB.com, Lynn is scheduled to push up his pitch count to 60 during Monday's session, but the Cardinals seem to be leaning toward having him toss some additional live BPs and/or minor-league rehab starts before bringing him back from the IL. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak recently mentioned the possibility of the team deploying a six-man rotation in September, but Steven Matz (back) is scheduled to make his final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis and looks poised to beat Lynn back from the IL to fill a potential opening in the rotation.

Steven Matz - Next rehab start coming Tuesday Matz (back) will make another rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis, MLB.com reports.
Impact The upcoming start is expected to be the sixth and final outing of Matz's rehab assignment before he returns from the 60-day injured list. According to manager Oliver Marmol, the Cardinals are targeting Matz for around 90 pitches Tuesday, which suggests the left-hander remains in consideration for a spot in the big-league rotation once activated. Though St. Louis might expand its rotation to six men in September, Matz could still wind up heading to the bullpen if the Cardinals elect to keep Andre Pallante in the fold as their No. 6 starter. The Cardinals are currently running a five-man rotation that includes Pallante, but Lance Lynn (knee) appears poised to make it back from the IL shortly before Matz.
