Nolan Arenado - Posts three hits in win Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Impact Arenado has gone 15-for-42 (.357) over his last 11 games to produce a strong end to the year. His double Friday was just his second extra-base hit in that span, and while his bat has been more consistent lately, he has just one homer over 23 games in September. Overall, the third baseman has a .272/.325/.394 slash line, 16 homers, 71 RBI, 70 runs scored, 23 doubles and two stolen bases over 152 contests this season.

Lars Nootbaar - Homer, triple in win Nootbaar went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-run triple in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Impact Nootbaar started the Cardinals' comeback with his homer in the third inning, then put them ahead for good in the fourth with the two-run triple. He has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games and now has seven such performances this month. The outfielder is at a .249/.344/.425 slash line, 12 homers, 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, 18 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 107 contests this season.

Ryan Helsley - Sets franchise record Helsley allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Impact Helsley set the Cardinals' single-season saves record at 49, surpassing Trevor Rosenthal's 48 in 2015. Helsley has posted a 6.2-inning scoreless streak with seven saves since he took a blown save Sept. 3. The closer is at a 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 79:23 K:BB through 66.1 innings this season. Helsley's recent workload has been manageable, so it seems likely he'll have an opportunity to go for the 50-save mark if a chance arises in the Cardinals' last two games.

Miles Mikolas - Grabs 10th win Mikolas (10-11) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.
Impact Mikolas had a bumpy season at best, but he ended the year allowing a modest six runs over his last 16 innings, earning two wins with a 12:1 K:BB over that three-start span. He was able to contain the damage to the second inning Friday, and the Cardinals rallied ahead for good in the fourth. This is the third time in his career Mikolas has reached the 10-win mark, but he did it with a 5.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:25 K:BB over just 171.2 innings in 32 starts this year.

Victor Scott - Sent back to Memphis The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
Impact During his three-day stint in the big leagues, Scott went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored, and he'll now end up as the Cardinals' roster casualty as Luken Baker returns from paternity leave. Assuming he's played his final game in the majors this season, he'll finish his rookie season with a .179/.219/.283 slash line alongside 10 RBI through 155 plate appearances.

Iván Herrera - Homers in Thursday's loss Herrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.
Impact This was Herrera's second homer in his last four games, though he hasn't seen steady playing time in that span. He got a start at designated hitter Thursday with Pedro Pages behind the dish. Herrera has hit well but not for much power this year with a .298/.368/.427 slash line, five home runs, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 71 contests.

Paul Goldschmidt - Smacks 22nd homer Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Goldschmidt went back-to-back with Lars Nootbaar in the first inning. This long ball ended a 19-game homer drought for Goldschmidt, who hit just .197 (13-for-66) in that span. The first baseman is up to 22 homers on the year, but his .241/.299/.403 slash line represents career-low numbers across the board. He's added 62 RBI, 69 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 152 games.
SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Fernandez - Takes loss Thursday Fernandez (1-6) allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over one inning to take the loss Thursday versus the Rockies.
Impact He didn't give up a home run, but the Rockies were able to connect for some loud contact against Fernandez in the eighth inning as they erased a three-run deficit. Prior to this appearance, Fernandez had allowed just one run over his last 11.2 innings despite allowing 10 hits and six walks in that span. The right-hander has pitched to a 3.51 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 71:32 K:BB with two saves, three blown saves and 12 holds over 66.2 innings this season as a 26-year-old rookie.

Pedro Pagés - Clubs homer Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Pages launched a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli in the eighth inning to give the Cardinals an 8-5 lead but the advantage was erased when Colorado put up five runs in the bottom of the frame. The long ball was Pages' seventh of the season, and he's slashing .236/.275/.361 across 209 plate appearances.
