ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Kyle Gibson - Poor control in loss Gibson (5-3) allowed four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus Atlanta in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Impact Gibson made his first start since June 14 -- a stint on the bereavement list, a bout of back tightness and a rainout combined to keep him out of game action for 12 days. He wasn't sharp, throwing 50 of 87 pitches for strikes Wednesday, with the five walks being a season high. This was his first loss since April 13 and the first time he's given up more than three runs since May 17. Gibson has a 3.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 77:36 K:BB over 87.2 innings across 15 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.

Chris Roycroft - Up as 27th man The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact He will serve as the team's 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta. Roycroft has collected a 3.07 ERA and 13:8 K:BB over 14.2 relief innings with the Cardinals this season. He'll likely be sent back down to Triple-A following the doubleheader.

Matthew Liberatore - Starting second game Wednesday Liberatore will start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Liberatore's last appearance was a spot start a week ago, and he went 3.2 innings and threw 48 pitches against the Marlins. Based on the workload he handled versus Miami, Liberatore should be capable of going at least that long in Wednesday's outing, though the St. Louis bullpen will certainly be needed to cover multiple innings.

Nolan Arenado - Back in lineup, batting sixth Arenado (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Impact Arenado had been set to return Tuesday from a left forearm injury before that game was rained out, but he'll remain in the lineup for the makeup game. The sixth spot in the batting order represents the lowest that Arenado has slotted in his four seasons with the Cardinals. He's slashing just .257/.315/.371 on the season and hasn't hit a home run since June 5.

Kyle Gibson - Tuesday's start postponed Gibson and the Cardinals won't face Atlanta on Tuesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tuesday's game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, and Gibson will take the mound for Game 1. The 36-year-old righty threw seven scoreless innings during his most recent start, though back tightness caused him to miss his last turn through the rotation.

Nick Robertson - Activated and optioned The Cardinals activated Robertson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Robertson is over the right elbow injury that sent him to the IL a month ago, but he will remain at Memphis where he had been on a rehab assignment. The right-hander holds a 4.38 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over 12.1 innings during his time in the majors this season.

Nick Raposo - Sent down to minors The Cardinals optioned Raposo to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Raposo was up as protection at catcher with Ivan Herrera (back) joining Willson Contreras (forearm) on the injured list at the time, but with Contreras now back the Cardinals can send Raposo back to Memphis. He did not make an appearance during his brief time in the majors.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Willson Contreras - Returns from injured list The Cardinals activated Contreras (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact A timetable of 10 weeks was assigned to Contreras after he suffered a fractured left forearm in early May, but he wound up missing six-and-a-half weeks. It's possible the Cardinals don't throw a full workload his way initially, but fantasy managers should feel free to activate ahead of this week's action. Contreras posted a .950 OPS with six home runs over 31 games before getting injured.
