Masyn Winn - On 10-game hitting streak Winn has hit safely in 10 straight games (and reached safely in all 11) for Single-A Peoria, accumulating a .415/.468/.683 line with a homer, two doubles, three triples and four st...
Impact Winn came into pro ball with questions as to whether he'd stick as a pitcher or a shortstop, and after he posted modest results with the bat last year, there were some questions as to the Cardinals' intentions for him. But they stuck with him at short, and he's rewarded them by flashing tremendous plate discipline (6:7 BB:K) as well as game-breaking speed early in 2022. He likely won't be fast-tracked through the minor leagues, but if Winn keeps hitting this way, a promotion to High-A (where he's technically already played, as it was Peoria's level last season) should certainly be forthcoming.

Harrison Bader - Gets Wednesday off Bader is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact He'll take a seat for the second time this season with the Cardinals wrapping up their series with the Mets with a day game after a night game. Dylan Carlson will slide over from right field to assume Bader's usual duties in center field, while Corey Dickerson picks up first start of the season in the outfield.

Nolan Arenado - Gets aboard three times Arenado went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.
Impact Arenado was a bright spot in a game that saw the Cardinals get just three baserunners to second base, and none to third. The third baseman had gone 0-for-8 in his last two games, so it's encouraging to see him snap out of the skid before it turned into an extended slump. Arenado is slashing .344/.420/.672 with five home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and five doubles through 16 games.

Tommy Edman - Two thefts in loss Edman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.
Impact Edman didn't picked up one of the Cardinals' three hits, but he was still able to find ways aboard Tuesday. The 26-year-old then used his speed to get into scoring position, but the Cardinals were unable to bring him home. The second baseman is slashing. 283/.397/.509 with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases through 16 contests. He's led off in four straight games, but he's unlikely to see more than a split of that spot in the lineup with fellow switch-hitter Dylan Carlson.

Andre Pallante - Covers three innings Pallante allowed three hits and struck out one over three scoreless innings in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.
Impact Starter Jordan Hicks was struck in the wrist by a comebacker and had to leave the game with two on and no outs in the third inning. Pallante allowed an inherited runner to score on a Starling Marte single, but he was otherwise effective in a multi-inning assignment. Through 9.1 innings this season, Pallante has a 0.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB. Initial tests on Hicks' wrist were encouraging, so it doesn't seem like the Cardinals will need a spot starter for his turn in the rotation this weekend. That's a role Pallante could fill later in the season if necessary, but he'll likely see most of his work out of the bullpen.

Jordan Hicks - X-rays come back negative Hicks had X-rays on his right wrist come back negative after leaving Tuesday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports
Impact The 25-year-old was struck on the right wrist by a 97-mph comebacker during Tuesday's start, but it appears he escaped with just a bruise. He gave up two runs on two hits with two walks and a strikeout over two innings before exiting the contest and is in line for the loss. Hicks next turn through the rotation lines up for Sunday versus Arizona, though it's unclear if he'll be available for that start.

Jordan Hicks - Exits with bruised wrist Hicks was removed from Tuesday's start against the Mets with a right wrist contusion, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hicks was struck on the wrist by a 97-mph comebacker during the second inning and initially remained in the game, but he was in clear discomfort on the mound during the third and was lifted after badly spiking a pitch. The right-hander allowed two runs on two hits with two walks and a strikeout over two innings and exited in line for the loss. Hicks' availability for his next turn through the rotation is up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.

Corey Dickerson - Out against righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dickerson typically serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter against right-handed pitchers like the Mets' Chris Bassitt, but he'll take a seat with Paul Goldschmidt getting a day out of the field. Brendan Donovan will pick up his first MLB start at first base while Goldschmidt serves as the DH.

Tyler O'Neill - Drives in both runs Monday O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
Impact Max Scherzer and Miles Mikolas put on a pitching duel for most of the game. O'Neill was able to open the scoring in the eighth with a two-run single off Trevor May, but the Mets rallied for the win in the ninth. O'Neill's been solid from a run-production standpoint with 10 RBI and eight runs scored through 14 contests. He's added a home run, two doubles and two stolen bases while posting a .216/.300/.314 slash line.

Paul Goldschmidt - Multiple hits in four straight Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
Impact Goldschmidt had multiple hits in just one of his first 11 games, but he's pulled out of the slump by going 9-for-17 in his last four. The first baseman hasn't homered yet this season, but he's picked up four doubles in 15 games. He sports a .259/.348/.328 slash line with five RBI. eight runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

Giovanny Gallegos - Blows first save Gallegos (0-1) blew his first save of the season Monday in a 5-2 loss to the Mets, coughing up four runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Entering the game to begin the ninth inning with the Cardinals nursing a 2-0 lead, Gallegos saw Nolan Arenado sail a throw on what could have been the third out but instead was ruled an infield single by Mark Canha. Jeff McNeil then doubled, and Dominic Smith brought both home by beating Gallegos to the bag after Paul Goldschmidt fielded his scorching grounder deep behind first base. It was a tough way for Gallegos to blow his first save in five tries and eventually take the loss, but the right-hander's ratios coming out of Monday are deceptive -- his 6.43 ERA on the season would drop to 1.29 if Canha's hit were scored an error on Arenado instead.
