ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Tommy Pham - On bench Tuesday Pham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Sonny Gray - Lit up by former team Gray (11-7) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Reds. He struck out nine.

Impact Gray allowed six earned runs for the second time this season with five of those runs coming by way of two home runs off the bat of Spencer Steer. The other run allowed also came via the long ball as Elly De La Cruz followed Steer's two-run blast in the third with a solo dinger of his own. It was the third time this season Gray has allowed at least three homers in the same game. The outing lifted his ERA to 3.93 with a 1.08 WHIP over 130.2 innings while the nine strikeouts lifted his season total to 162, good for 10th best in all of baseball. His next start is slated to take place over the weekend when the Dodgers make the trip to St. Louis.

Lance Lynn - Slated for another side session Lynn (knee) will throw another bullpen session Friday or Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lynn completed Monday's session without issue, hurling around 20 pitches at 75 percent effort, per Denton. The team will take the next few days to ensure he's feeling strong before sending him out for another throwing session later in the week. A timetable for Lynn's return is not yet set in stone, but if all goes well during his next bullpen, he'll likely be sent out to make a rehab start or two before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Steven Matz - No back pain in Sunday outing Manager Oli Marmol told reporters Monday that Matz did not feel any back pain following his rehab outing with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Matz came away with the no decision Sunday after allowing one run on two hits while striking out three across four frames. His next rehab appearance will take place Friday, and the plan is for the 33-year-old southpaw to pitch five innings and approximately 75-to-80 pitches. Matz has not pitched for the Cardinals since late April due to a herniated disc in his back, though he could be on his way back to the big club if he comes out of Friday's outing unscathed.

Nolan Gorman - Back on bench vs. lefty Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact The lefty-hitting Gorman had started in each of the Cardinals' last five games, but he'll head back to the bench Monday with the Reds sending southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill. The Cardinals should continue to frequently shield Gorman from lefties, but after he went 5-for-14 with two doubles over his last four starts, the 24-year-old might have recaptured at least a part-time role against right-handed pitching.

Lars Nootbaar - Out of lineup against lefty Nootbaar is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nootbaar has now been out of the lineup for six of the Cardinals' last 12 contests and each of the last three times they've faced a left-hander. He's slashed just .214/.280/.321since coming off the injured list in early July and could see his playing time cut further with Jordan Walker back in the majors.

Alec Burleson - Sitting against left-hander Burleson is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's southpaw Andrew Abbott on the hill for the Reds, which means a day off for the left-handed hitting Burleson. Tommy Pham and Jordan Walker will be the Cardinals' corner outfielders Monday and Willson Contreras will be their designated hitter.

Masyn Winn - Back in action Monday Winn (illness) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winn didn't play in Saturday's game versus the Royals because he was under the weather, but he's back in there following a rare team off day Sunday. The rookie shortstop will carry a .746 OPS into the series opener in Cincinnati.

Lance Lynn - Throwing bullpen session Lynn (knee) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Foul Territory reports.

Impact Lynn revealed the news himself in an interview with Foul Territory on Monday. While the hurler noted that he should have more clarity on his timetable after the throwing session, he hopes to return to the Cardinals "hopefully within the next time or two through the rotation." Lynn has been sidelined since late July with right knee inflammation.

Jordan Walker - Rejoins major-league club The Cardinals recalled Walker from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact While Walker posted a pedestrian .747 OPS in 78 games with Memphis, he had finally found his footing lately, slashing .343/.400/.687 with five home runs over his last 75 plate appearances. It seems likely that the Cardinals will give him another shot at regular playing time, perhaps at the expense of the slumping Lars Nootbaar. Walker had just a .497 OPS in 20 games for St. Louis earlier this season before being demoted.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Carpenter - Shut down with back injury The Cardinals placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain.

Impact Outfielder Jordan Walker was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to take Carpenter's spot on the 26-man active roster. Carpenter had played in just one of the Cardinals' first 10 games of August, though his lack of usage might have had more to do with his standing as a reserve designated hitter rather than because of the injury. Carpenter had served as a strong-side platoon option at DH for a brief spell from mid-June to early July, but his playing time had fallen by the wayside since outfielder Lars Nootbaar returned from the injured list, which bumped Alec Burleson back to DH.

Impact The right-hander returned from an elbow injury in late June and was optioned to Triple-A Memphis, and he's now been removed from St. Louis' 40-man roster. Robertson hasn't been effective at Triple-A this season with a 7.48 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB over 21.2 innings.
