Kyle Leahy - Sent back to minors The Cardinals returned Leahy to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.
Impact Leahy will head back to Memphis after he was summoned from the Triple-A club on Saturday to serve as the Cardinals' 27th man for a doubleheader with the Cubs. He was called upon in relief in the Cardinals' 11-3 win in the first game of the twin bill, striking out two while allowing one earned run on two hits and no walks over two innings.

Willson Contreras - Getting Sunday off Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Contreras will get a breather after he played in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, starting at designated hitter in the first game and at catcher in the second game while going a combined 3-for-6 with a home run, three walks, three runs and two RBI. Pedro Pages will step in behind the plate for the resting Contreras.

Michael Siani - Out Sunday with elbow injury Siani (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Siani will get a chance to rest his bruised left elbow in the final game before the All-Star break after he injured it in the first contest of Saturday's doubleheader with Chicago. Lars Nootbaar will cover center field in Siani's stead Sunday.

JoJo Romero - Nabs win in nightcap Romero (4-1) allowed a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning without allowing a run, earning the win in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.
Impact Romero was a little shaky but got the job done in the eighth inning. The Cardinals then took the lead with a two-run single by Nolan Arenado in their half of the frame to put Romero in line for the win. He hasn't been charged with a run over his last eight appearances, allowing seven hits and two walks over six innings in that span. For the season, the setup man has a 2.43 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 34:9 K:BB, 26 holds and four blown saves across 40.2 innings.

Alec Burleson - Homers in Game 1 win Saturday Burleson went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in an 11-3 win over the Cubs in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact Burleson also went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in the nightcap. He's driven in 10 runs over his last six games, and he's batting .327 (16-for-49) over 12 contests in July. The 25-year-old's up to a .285/.318/.481 slash line with 16 homers, 52 RBI, 40 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 13 doubles over 88 games in his breakout year.
JULY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Masyn Winn - Leads charge in twin bill Winn went 4-for-9 with a home run, three runs scored and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Cubs.
Impact Hitting leadoff in both contests, Winn banged out two hits in each and wrapped his day with a solo shot off Javier Assad on the third pitch he saw in the nightcap. Winn is having a strong start to July, slashing .300/.364/.400 through 12 games with two doubles, a homer, a steal, five RBI and 10 runs.

Ryan Helsley - Notches 32nd save Helsley recorded his 32nd save of the season Saturday, giving up a hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning during the second game of a doubleheader sweep of the Cubs.
Impact After blowing a save July 5, Helsley got an extended rest and bounced back with a strong performance. The right-hander has hardly been struggling lately though -- he's allowed earned runs in only one of his last 12 appearances, posting a 1.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 13 innings during that stretch. Helsley's 32 saves leads the majors, three clear of the Guardians' Emmanuel Clase, and that impressive first half has earned him his second career All-Star Game berth.

Kyle Gibson - Peppered in no-decision Gibson came away with a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, giving up four runs on 10 hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out th...
Impact All four runs scored in the second inning as Chicago batted around, with the biggest blow being a two-run shot by Miguel Amaya. Gibson wound up exiting after 97 pitches (56 strikes) as he failed to last more than five innings for the fourth straight start, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 7.50 ERA, 2.11 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB in 18 innings. The veteran righty will try to use the All-Star break to regroup, but there are warning signs his numbers could continue to regress after a promising start to 2024 -- his 91.0 mph average velocity on his fastball would be his lowest since 2016, while his 9.5 percent walk rate would be his highest over a full season since 2018.

Lance Lynn - Cruises to fifth win Lynn (5-4) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
Impact The Cardinals struck for nine runs in the bottom of the first inning, letting Lynn cruise to his sixth quality start of the season on 99 pitches (68 strikes). The veteran right-hander is closing in on an impressive milestone, as he sits two strikeouts away from 2,000 for his career, a mark only five other active pitchers -- Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Chris Sale and Gerrit Cole -- have reached. Lynn's won three of his last four starts, but the fourth was an ugly outing July 6 against the Nationals in which he got tagged for 11 runs (10 earned) in 2.2 innings. He'll take a 4.39 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 92:37 K:BB through 96.1 innings into the All-Star break.

Michael Siani - On bench for nightcap Siani (elbow) is out of the lineup for the second game of a double-header against the Cubs on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Siani was hit in the elbow by a pitch in the first inning of Game 1 and was eventually removed in the fourth frame. The center fielder has been diagnosed with a left elbow contusion but the Cardinals could opt to give Siani an extended break with All-Star festivities beginning Monday.

Michael Siani - Makes early exit Saturday Siani departed the first game of Saturday's twin bill against the Cubs due to a left elbow contusion, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Siani was hit by a pitch on the left elbow with the bases loaded in the first inning to get credited with an RBI. He stayed in the game for a few more frames before being removed in the fourth. Siani got a second plate appearance prior to his departure and grounded out to first base. It's worth noting that the Cardinals were up 10-1 at the time of his departure, so it's possible that Siani's exit was precautionary. The teams are playing a doubleheader Saturday, and it remains to be seen if Siani will be in the lineup for the nightcap.

Paul Goldschmidt - Resting during Game 1 Goldschmidt isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Goldschmidt will take a seat to begin Saturday's activities after putting together a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 6-for-22 with two homers and four RBI. His absence will move Alec Burleson to first base, allowing Willson Contreras to serve as the DH with Pedro Pages at catcher.
JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Leahy - Added as 27th man The Cardinals added Leahy to their active roster for Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Leahy owns a 4.13 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 28.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll now return to St. Louis in order to add extra depth to its bullpen for Saturday's twin bill. He'll likely be returned to Triple-A Memphis after the conclusion of the second game.
