Michael Siani - Takes batting practice Siani (oblique) took a full round of batting practice Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's the first time he's done so since landing on the 10-day injured list in early August with a right oblique strain. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Siani will begin a rehab assignment soon, although the team is still determining when and where that will occur. It's looking like the center fielder has a shot to return before the end of August.

Steven Matz - Likely needs another rehab start Matz (back) is expected to make one more minor-league rehab start prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact On Wednesday, Matz made his third rehab start for Triple-A Memphis, striking out three batters in five innings and giving up four earned runs on nine hits and one walk while pushing his pitch count up to 85. Though Matz looks to be fully stretched out at this point, the Cardinals may want to see a sharper outing from the lefty before bringing him back from the IL. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak previously floated the idea of the team using a six-man rotation down the stretch, though Matz could still find himself as the odd man out for a starting role once he's activated. Lance Lynn (knee) looks to be tracking toward a return from the IL around the same time as Matz, and current fifth starter Andre Pallante (3.81 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in five starts since the All-Star break) may be pitching well enough to keep his spot in the rotation.

Paul Goldschmidt - Grabbing seat Thursday Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Goldschmidt went 1-for-9 with four strikeouts in the first two games of the series and will now begin the rubber match on the bench. The Cardinals will go with Alec Burleson at first base.

Masyn Winn - Knocks three hits Wednesday Winn went 3-for-6 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Brewers.
Impact This was Winn's third multi-hit effort over his last six games, a stretch that follows a three-game slump. The shortstop is batting .264 (19-for-72) with four home runs and four doubles over 17 contests in August. He's up to a .277/.326/.419 slash line with 11 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 44 RBI and 60 runs scored over 117 games this season while continuing to thrive as the Cardinals' leadoff hitter.

Luken Baker - Homers off bench in win Baker hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Wednesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Brewers.
Impact Baker provided a game-tying blast in the seventh inning to knot the score at 4-4. This was his first major-league at-bat of the season. The slugger slashed .209/.313/.314 with two homers and 10 RBI over 33 games in the majors last season, and he was slashing .231/.345/.535 with 32 homers and 79 RBI across 108 contests with Triple-A Memphis prior to his call-up Tuesday. Baker figures to be a short-side platoon option at designated hitter as well as a top bench bat whenever a southpaw reliever enters for an opponent. He may not get many starts, however, as starting catcher Willson Contreras is typically the DH when the Cardinals face lefty starters.

Nolan Arenado - Goes grand for walk-off win Arenado went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Brewers.
Impact Arenado came up clutch with the game tied in the bottom of the 10th inning to secure the win for the Cardinals. The grand slam was his third homer over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting .319 (22-for-69) with 14 RBI over 18 contests in August, which has been a resurgent month for him. Arenado is up to a .272/.326/.406 slash line, 14 homers, 59 RBI, 53 runs scored, 19 doubles and two stolen bases over 119 games this season.

Ryan Helsley - Earns fifth win Helsley (5-4) struck out two and didn't put a runner on base in a scoreless inning to earn the extra-inning win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact Helsley had two strikeouts and a groundout to strand the initial runner at third base in the top of the 10th inning, and the Cardinals rallied for a walk-off win on Nolan Arenado's grand slam in the bottom of the frame. This was Helsley's fourth consecutive scoreless appearance after he allowed four runs over 2.2 innings to begin August. For the season, the St. Louis closer has a 2.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 60:22 K:BB while converting 38 of 41 save chances across 52.2 innings.

Kyle Gibson - Gives up two runs Wednesday Gibson allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact Gibson induced three double plays over the first four innings to cover his mistakes. The Brewers broke through for single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, and Gibson left with the game tied at 2-2. He's posted just two quality starts over six outings since the All-Star break, allowing a total of 18 runs (17 earned) across 34.2 innings in that span. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 4.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 126:52 K:BB through 136.1 innings over 24 starts. Gibson's next start is projected to come at home versus the Padres.

Tommy Pham - Could see more starts vs. RHPs Pham will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Pham had made three of his last four starts against left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll crack the lineup Wednesday while the Brewers send a righty (Tobias Myers) to the hill. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Pham could have a pathway to regular playing time moving forward, as the Cardinals optioned struggling infielder Nolan Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan will likely handle a regular role at second base moving forward, which clears room in the corner outfield for both Pham and Lars Nootbaar.

Michael Siani - Rehab progressing Siani (oblique) has progressed to taking flips and doing some light defensive work, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Siani began hitting off a tee this past weekend and is now continuing his progression as he works his way back from a right oblique strain. The center fielder has been shelved since early August but could be ready to return around the start of September.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Scott - Out of St. Louis lineup Scott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Brewers.
Impact Scott had started seven straight games but went just 3-for-22 with eight strikeouts. The Cardinals will go offense over defense in this one, putting Lars Nootbaar in center field and flanking him with Tommy Pham and Alec Burleson.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
José Fermín - Summoned from minors The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
Impact Fermin is taking the roster spot of the struggling Nolan Gorman, who has been optioned to Memphis. The 25-year-old Fermin will offer St. Louis a backup option at second base, third base and shortstop and he could see some starts versus left-handed pitching.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Nolan Gorman - Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
Impact Gorman's strikeout rate on the season ballooned to 37.6 percent after he went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Strikeouts are nothing new for Gorman, of course, but this season they haven't been accompanied by much production, with the 24-year-old's OPS cratering to .671 after an .805 mark in 2023. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan should see most of his playing time at second base moving forward.
