ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Masyn Winn - Goes deep in series finale Winn went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Winn opened up the scoring with a two-run blast off Justin Steele in the third, but the Cardinals would be shut out the rest of the way from there. Wynn now has four homers over his last 10 games and is up to nine total for the season. Seven of his nine homers this season have come against left-handed pitching too. The 22-year-old is slashing .279/.325/.414 with 31 extra-base hits, 41 RBI, 50 runs, nine steals and a 29"75 BB:K in 426 plate appearances.

Victor Scott - Recalled by St. Louis The Cardinals recalled Scott from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Impact The 23-year-old is taking the roster spot of Michael Siani, who landed on the injured list Sunday due to an oblique strain. Scott began the season as St. Louis' primary center fielder but was demoted in April after he posted a .085/.138/.136 slash line in his first 21 games. He has a .620 OPS in 74 games at Triple-A this season, though Scott carried a hot bat in his last seven contests, going 10-for-27 with three homers and six walks.

Michael Siani - Out with oblique strain The Cardinals placed Siani on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right oblique strain.

Impact The 25-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's contest, and the Cardinals won't waste any time before moving him to the injured list. Siani is without an official timeline for his return, but it's likely to sideline him beyond the 10-day minimum and could be a significant injury, per Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Michael Siani - Headed for IL The Cardinals are expected to place Siani (oblique) on the injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The team has yet to disclose the severity of the right oblique injury that Siani sustained in Saturday's 5-4 win, but his pending move to the IL suggests that it's more than a day-to-day concern. The Cardinals plan to recall Victor Scott from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, but it's unclear if Scott will immediately step into Siani's everyday role in center field, or if he'll instead function as more of a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. St. Louis could choose to open up regular room in the outfield for Brendan Donovan, Tommy Pham and Lars Nootbaar, though the club's outfield defense would take a big hit without rangier options like Siani or Scott patrolling center field.

Victor Scott - Promotion imminent The Cardinals are expected to recall Scott from Triple-A Memphis prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The imminent transaction would seem to indicate that the Cardinals are placing their top center fielder, Mike Siani (oblique), on the injured list. Though Scott fits the same speed and defense profile that Siani offers, it's not immediately clear if the Cardinals plan to turn to the rookie in an everyday role or if they'll prioritize offense from their outfielders by carving out regular spots for Tommy Pham, Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan. After earning his way on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster with a strong spring training, Scott sputtered at the plate before being optioned to Memphis in late April, slashing just .085/.138/.136 over his first 65 big-league plate appearances.

Brendan Donovan - Racks up three hits in win Donovan went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Donovan's hitting tailed off late in July, as he ended the month in a 4-for-29 (.138) rut. He's now 4-for-11 over three contests in August, though he hasn't posted an extra-base hit since July 20. Donovan has seen most of his playing time in left field this year, but he's also starting to get more run at second base with outfielder Tommy Pham hitting the ground running in his return to St. Louis while Nolan Gorman is in the midst of a slump. For the season, Donovan is slashing a fine .267/.333/.392 with nine home runs, three stolen bases, 52 RBI, 46 runs scored, 22 doubles and a triple over 105 contests.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Alec Burleson - Knocks homer in win Burleson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Burleson had gone 10 games without a homer, batting just .150 (6-for-40) in that span. He put the power drought to rest with his first-inning blast, giving him 19 long balls on the year. The slugger has added a .278/.314/.468 slash line with 64 RBI, 51 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 14 doubles over 103 contests.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

JoJo Romero - Grabs fifth win Romero struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday over the Cubs.

Impact Kyle Gibson allowed four runs in a seven-inning start, but the Cardinals rallied late and Romero was the beneficiary. Over his last 13 outings, Romero has allowed just one run across 10.2 innings, though he has given up 11 hits and two walks in that span. The lefty setup man has a 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB with 27 holds through 45.1 innings this season, though he's also been on the hook for five blown saves.

Ryan Helsley - Earns 34th save Helsley earned the save against the Cubs on Saturday, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Helsley was summoned to protect a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning and did so on just nine pitches. He rebounded from a blown save Thursday and surpassed Emmanuel Clase for the major-league lead in saves with 34. On the season, the 30-year-old owns a 2.64 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB across 47.2 innings.

Kyle Gibson - Strikes out seven in no-decision Gibson did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over seven innings.

Impact Gibson allowed four runs over his first two innings but rebounded with five scoreless frames. The veteran was efficient, throwing 65 of 96 pitches for strikes and retiring the final seven batters he faced, but he has now yielded three earned runs or more in seven of his past 10 starts and has not won a game since July 7. On the year, he owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 109:47 K:BB across 120.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Rays next week.
