83-79 · 2ND IN NL CENTRAL
Victor Scott - Knocks homer Scott went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.
Impact The homer was the second of Scott's major-league career, both of which have come during his current stint with the Cardinals. He's shown some positives lately, going 6-for-17 (.353) with two steals and three extra-base hits over his last seven contests. Scott is slashing .150/.197/.265 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and four steals over 122 plate appearances as a rookie this year.

Shawn Armstrong - Picks up first win with new team Armstrong (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Twins, retiring both batters he faced.
Impact Armstrong has been moderately effective in a middle-relief role since joining the Cardinals, allowing four runs over 11.1 innings across 10 appearances. He's added an 11:2 K:BB in that span. For the year, Armstrong has a 4.97 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 61:21 K:BB, one save and three holds over 58 innings between the Cardinals and the Rays. Given the success of St. Louis' high-leverage relievers, Armstrong is unlikely to move up the hierarchy.

Ryan Helsley - Collects 40th save Helsley picked up the save Sunday, allowing one hit over a scoreless ninth inning against the Twins.
Impact Helsley worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to secure his major-league leading 40th save. Helsley has seen a bit of a decline in his peripherals this season, posting his lowest K/BB and K/9 rates along with his highest ERA and WHIP since 2021. That said, he remains one of the best relievers in the game and has been lights out in the ninth, closing the door on all but three save chances this season.

Erick Fedde - K's seven in quality start Fedde did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Twins. He struck out seven.
Impact Fedde tossed his most effective game as a Cardinal, putting together his first quality start in five starts since joining the club. A leadoff homer in the bottom of the first by Willi Castro was the only run Fedde allowed and one of only two hits the Twins could muster off the veteran righty. However, he was also provided little run support and when he was removed, the game was tied at one. Fedde's ERA since joining the Cardinals now stands at 4.23 over 27.2 innings. His next start is scheduled to take place in the Bronx against the Yankees.

Willson Contreras - Placed on injured list The Cardinals placed Contreras (finger) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact The 32-year-old fractured the middle finger on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch Saturday against the Twins, so his move to the injured list was to be expected. It's unclear how long Contreras is expected to be sidelined, but he's likely to be out beyond the 10-day minumum.

Sonny Gray - Loses third straight start Gray (11-9) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss versus the Twins on Saturday.
Impact Trevor Larnach hit a pair of home runs off Gray, accounting for four of the five runs on the right-hander's line. It was a third straight loss for Gray, who has given up 13 runs across 16 innings with a 22:7 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's now at a 4.07 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 175:36 K:BB through 141.2 innings over 24 starts. Gray will look to right the ship in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Padres.

Iván Herrera - Slated for call-up The Cardinals are expected to recall Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Willson Contreras suffered a fractured finger on Saturday and will require a stint on the injured list, opening up a spot on the 26-man roster for Herrera. The 24-year-old will mix in with Pedro Pages behind the dish while Contreras is sidelined. In 191 big-league plate appearances this season, Herrera is slashing .279/.340/.378 with three home runs and four stolen bases.

After undergoing testing, the catcher was diagnosed with a fractured finger and will require a stint on the IL.
