Michael Siani - Cleared to swing Team doctors cleared Siani (oblique) to resume winging a bat, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Siani has been throwing and doing light fielding drills since undergoing a PRP injection Aug. 6, and he'll now be able to add swinging to his baseball activities. The center fielder hasn't played since Aug. 3 due to a strained right oblique but could be back before the end of August.

Steven Matz - One more rehab start needed Matz (back) will require one more minor-league rehab start before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Impact Matz struck out six in 4.1 scoreless innings during a rehab outing with Triple-A Memphis on Friday, but hasn't been deemed ready to return. Despite being on the shelf since May 3, Matz shouldn't have any restrictions once activated from the injured list considering he threw 76 pitches Friday. Following the trade deadline acquisition of Erick Fedde, it's unclear who'll be the odd man out in the St. Louis rotation once Matz is healthy.

Lance Lynn - Approaching last step of rehab Manager Oli Marmol said Saturday that Lynn (knee) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday and could return to the rotation afterward, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact After throwing 35 pitches without feeling pain in his right knee during a bullpen session Friday, Lynn was cleared to face batters. Assuming all goes well with Tuesday's live session, Lynn could supplant Andre Pallante in the rotation as soon as Friday's series opener against the Twins. Lynn hasn't pitched for St. Louis since July 30 due to inflammation in his right knee. In three starts prior to sustaining the injury, Lynn allowed three runs with 11 strikeouts across 16 innings.

Pedro Pagés - Homers in Friday's loss Pages went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Pages put the Cardinals ahead 4-2 with a solo shot in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the sixth after they fell behind. The catcher's playing time has been a bit sparse in August, but he's gone 6-for-20 (.300) over seven games this month. Overall, he has a .246/.296/.362 slash line, three homers, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base over 143 plate appearances. Pages most often catches versus opposing southpaws, allowing Willson Contreras to rest his legs as the designated hitter in those contests.

Masyn Winn - Swats solo shot Winn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Winn has gone 3-for-17 with two extra-base hits since returning from an illness. The shortstop showed a little pop with four homers over a 10-game span from July 26 to Aug. 4, though he's had to settle for four doubles and a homer over his last nine contests. He continues to impress with a .275/.325/.415 slash line, 10 homers, 42 RBI, 57 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 113 contests this season.

Paul Goldschmidt - Pops 19th homer Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Goldschmidt's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the second inning. The first baseman's consistency hasn't returned in August -- he's just 7-for-42 (.167) with two homers and seven RBI over 12 contests this month. He's still managed to produce decent power with 19 homers and 19 doubles through 117 contests, but his batting average (.231) has been stagnant since mid-June, and he's added just 49 RBI, 58 runs scored and seven stolen bases for a team that's struggled to generate much offense.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Miles Mikolas - Struggles continue versus Dodgers Mikolas (8-10) allowed five runs on seven hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over 5.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Mikolas pitched into the sixth inning for the first time in August and avoided walking a batter for the second start in a row. His seven strikeouts were also a season high. He's given up 14 runs over 13.2 innings across his last three starts, and the Dodgers were able to take him deep twice on solo shots from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts. Mikolas is now at a 5.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 96:22 K:BB through 138 innings across 25 starts. This is shaping up as his worst of six seasons as a Cardinal, and it hasn't been getting better throughout the summer. The veteran is projected for a tough home start versus the Brewers in his next outing.

Michael Siani - Meeting with doctors Friday Siani is meeting with doctors Friday to evaluate whether he's healed enough to begin swinging a bat, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Siani received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right oblique Aug. 6, two days after being placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old outfielder has progressed to fielding drills and running over the past week, and he could take the next step in his rehab program if doctors believe he's ready to do so. Siani had a slash line of .400/.455/.425 with four stolen bases, nine runs scored and four RBI across 43 plate appearances after the All-Star break.

Jordan Walker - Gets start versus lefty Walker will start in right field and bat seventh in Friday's game versus the Dodgers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Walker is being used as the short side of a platoon in right field by the Cardinals, making both starts versus lefties and sitting out in two games against right-handers. Lars Nootbaar and Alec Burleson will begin Friday's contest on the bench.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Lars Nootbaar - Sitting versus southpaw Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-handed hitting Nootbaar will take a seat as the Dodgers use southpaw Justin Wrobleski as their starting pitcher. It will be Tommy Pham in left field and Jordan Walker in right field for St. Louis.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Alec Burleson - Out against left-hander Burleson is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Dodgers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Dodgers are sending lefty Justin Wrobleski to the hill, so the left-handed hitting Burleson will begin this one on the bench. Tommy Pham and Jordan Walker are in the corner outfield spots for the Cardinals and Willson Contreras will be the designated hitter.
