Sonny Gray - Quality start in loss Gray (9-6) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on nine hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out six.
Impact Despite collecting his eighth quality start of the season, Gray yielded a season-high nine hits -- eight singles and one double. He hasn't been his best of late, making three straight outings allowing seven or more hits, pitching to a 6.06 ERA in 16.1 innings over that span. The 34-year-old veteran wraps up his first half with a 3.34 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 121:24 K:BB across 99.2 innings. Gray looks to bounce back in the Cardinals' first series of the second half on the road against Atlanta.

Riley O'Brien - Could begin rehab assignment soon O'Brien is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday at Double-A Springfield and could start a rehab assignment next week if Saturday's session goes well, John Denton of ML...
Impact Saturday will be O'Brien's third, and possibly last, live BP session, as the 29-year-old reliever could start playing in games as early as next week. O'Brien hasn't pitched in a game since Opening Day, when he sustained a strained forearm. He'll likely require several rehab appearances before being activated.

Iván Herrera - Activated, sent to Triple-A The Cardinals activated Herrera (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis.
Impact Herrera has been shelved since June 22 due to soreness in his lower back, and although he's now healthy, the 24-year-old won't rejoin the big-league roster. Pedro Pages will handle backup catching duties behind Willson Contreras in St. Louis.

Gordon Graceffo - Returns to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
Impact As expected, Graceffo's latest stint with the Cardinals lasted just one day, as St. Louis had called him from Triple-A Memphis to serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals. He made his first MLB start in the second game of the twin bill and was the pitcher of record in the Cardinals' 8-5 loss, working 3.1 innings and striking out two batters while allowing three earned runs on four hits and no walks.

Paul Goldschmidt - Slugs another homer Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 loss to the Royals in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Impact Goldschmidt also went 1-for-4 in the nightcap, but he struck out a total of four times across the twin bill. The first baseman is up to 13 homers this year, with four of them coming over his last 17 contests. He's at a .229/.292/.374 slash line, 36 RBI, 46 runs scored, six stolen bases and 13 doubles through 390 plate appearances.

Nolan Arenado - Homers in day game Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 loss to the Royals in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Impact Arenado opened the scoring in the matinee contest with a second-inning solo shot. The third baseman wasn't as productive in the nightcap, going 0-for-4 to keep his season-long batting average steady at .266. He's added a .697 OPS, eight homers, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored, 14 doubles and one stolen base through 363 plate appearances this season. Arenado is batting .297 (11-for-37) in July, perhaps signaling a turnaround in the second half.

Lars Nootbaar - Swats homer Wednesday Nootbaar went 2-for-8 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double Wednesday across both games of a doubleheader against Kansas City.
Impact Nootbaar was a quiet 0-for-4 in Game 1 but came to life with a solo homer and a double in the nightcap. These were his second and third games since the outfielder returned from a nearly six-month-long absence due to a strained oblique. Nootbar has started each of the Cardinals' three games (twice in right field and once in center) since his return, so he seems to be locked into a near-everyday spot in the team's lineup.

Alec Burleson - Collects three RBI in twin bill Burleson went 2-for-8 with a home run, a double, two runs and three RBI over both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Royals.
Impact Burleson smashed a two-run homer in Game 1 and added an RBI double in the nightcap. He's reached base via hit or walk in 10 straight contests, batting .317 (13-for-41) with three homers, 11 RBI and two thefts over that span. Burleson is in the midst of a breakthrough campaign, slashing .282/.318/.472 with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 38 runs and seven steals through 322 plate appearances.

Gordon Graceffo - Takes defeat in first MLB start Graceffo (0-1) took the loss against Kansas City on Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings.
Impact Graceffo tossed 4.1 frames and gave up just one run in his major-league debut June 29, but that came in long relief. The right-hander wasn't as effective in his first big-league start, though he yielded just one run on two hits through three innings. Kansas City notched back-to-back hits against Graceffo to begin the fourth, however, and he was pulled after a sacrifice fly yielded the Royals' second run. Another tally was charged to his ledger after his departure, and the Cardinals were never able to take take the rookie off the hook for the loss. Graceffo served as the team's 27th man in the contest, so he'll likely be headed back to Triple-A in short order.

Andre Pallante - Take defeat in Game 1 of twin bill Pallante (4-4) took the loss against Kansas City in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 innings...
Impact Pallante cruised through four scoreless, one-hit frames before the Royals struck for three runs on four hits in the fifth. The right-hander was allowed to return for the sixth but was pulled after giving up a tiebreaking solo homer to Salvador Perez with one out. Pallante was consequently stuck with the loss, as St. Louis was unable to catch up. Despite the defeat, Pallante recorded his second-longest outing of the campaign while recording exactly five punchouts for his fourth straight appearance.

Gordon Graceffo - Promoted for Game 2 start The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Impact The 24-year-old will make the first start of his MLB career in Wednesday's nightcap while serving as the 27th man for the twin bill, and he should be sent back to Memphis after the contest. Graceffo has pitched to a 3.86 ERA and 71:31 K:BB over 77 innings at Triple-A this season and fared well during his MLB debut in late June, when he allowed one run across 4.1 innings of long relief versus the Reds.

Masyn Winn - On bench for second game of day Winn is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Impact After going 0-for-4 in the Cardinals' 6-4 loss in the first game of the day, Winn will get a breather for the nightcap. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop in place of Winn, who had started in each of St. Louis' last 10 games.
