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.

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.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Carpenter - Provides offense off bench Carpenter hit a two-run home-run as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.
Impact Carpenter was activated from a minimum stay on the injured list due to a back strain earlier in the day. He's played in just seven games since the All-Star break, going 4-for-10 with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored in those contests. The 38-year-old is expected to remain in a bench role most of the time, while Alec Burleson and Willson Contreras continue to garner most of the at-bats at designated hitter. Carpenter is slashing .261/.336/.414 with four homers, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 125 plate appearances.

Erick Fedde - Just misses quality start Tuesday Fedde (8-7) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 3-2 to the Brewers. He struck out two.
Impact The right-hander tossed only 53 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his inefficiency left him one out short of his 11th quality start of the season. Fedde has had a bumpy beginning to his St. Louis tenure after being acquired at the trade deadline, going 1-3 in his first four starts for the team with a 4.98 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB through 21.2 innings. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Minnesota.

Lance Lynn - Throwing another live BP Lynn (knee) threw a session of live batting practice Tuesday and is scheduled for another session Monday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol previously indicated Lynn might be able to return from the injured list following Tuesday's live BP, but the right-hander will need at least one more session before being activated. The 37-year-old threw the equivalent of three innings and should continue building up his workload in the next session before potentially rejoining the rotation later next week.
AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Matz - Making rehab start Wednesday Matz (back) is scheduled to throw about 90 pitches in his rehab start with Tripel-A Memphis on Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Matz has a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 13 frames in his four previous rehab outings, and Wednesday's start is likely to be his last before being reinstated from the injured list. The left-hander will be fully stretched out as a starter, though his official role upon being activated has yet to be determined. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated the club could move to the six-man roster with Lance Lynn (knee) also on the cusp of returning from the injured list.

Luken Baker - Summoned from minors The Cardinals recalled Baker from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
Impact Baker has slashed .231/.345/.535 with 32 home runs in 108 games this season at Memphis, which includes a 1.096 OPS versus left-handed pitching. The 27-year-old is blocked by Paul Goldschmidt at first base but figures to see some looks at designated hitter against southpaws.
AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Walker - Optioned back to minors The Cardinals optioned Walker to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
Impact Walker was recalled early last week, but he was given only three starts in six games, with all of those starts coming against left-handers. He went just 1-for-11 over that stretch and is now headed back to Memphis, where he can receive regular reps again.
AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Carpenter - Returns from injured list The Cardinals reinstated Carpenter (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact The 38-year-old will end up missing only the 10-day minimum due to a back strain. Carpenter went 0-for-2 with two walks and two strikeouts in his lone start of August prior to landing on the shelf, and he's unlikely to see consistent at-bats for the Cardinals down the stretch.
