Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ
The Cardinals are winning with their 40-40-40 club of Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and Adam Wainwright - The Boston GlobeWith a trio of stars in their 40s, plus Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado in their 30s, the Cardinals have cruised to the NL Central lead.
Steven Matz - Throws side sessionMatz (knee) threw 30 pitches during a low-intensity side session this weekend, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ImpactAlthough Matz didn't throw with much intensity over the weekend, he apparently felt good afterward since he'll throw another bullpen session Wednesday. It's not yet clear when the southpaw will be able to begin a rehab assignment, but he's trended in the right direction over the last few weeks.

Andrew Knizner - Returns to No. 2 roleKnizner will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Cubs, Bally Sports Midwest reports.
ImpactWith Yadier Molina (personal) coming off the restricted list Monday and stepping back in as the Cardinals' No. 1 catcher, Knizner's brief run atop the depth chart comes to an end. Knizner was behind the plate for both of the Cardinals' final two games of the weekend series in Arizona and went 3-for-7 with a double, two walks and four runs.

Matthew Liberatore - Candidate to start TuesdayLiberatore is a candidate to start one of the two games during Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ImpactLiberatore has joined the Cardinals' taxi squad for their trip to Wrigley Field, and he'll likely be formally called up from Triple-A Memphis and designated as the 27th man once Tuesday arrives. Although he's in the mix to start Tuesday, manager Oliver Marmol said that he's leaning toward starting Jake Woodford. If that's the case, Liberatore would likely be available as a long reliever. Over seven appearances (six starts) in the majors this season, Liberatore has posted a 5.33 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 27 innings.
