ImpactThe left-hander has been on the COVID-19 IL since June 25, and he's poised to rejoin the active roster without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. Cabrera has a 2.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year and should return to a setup role once activated.

Tyler O'Neill - May return FridayO'Neill (hamstring) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Phillies, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ImpactO'Neill reported to Triple-A Memphis this week for a rehab assignment and appears set to rejoin the Cardinals after going 3-for-7 with a double and an RBI in two games. The 27-year-old landed on the shelf with a hamstring strain June 20, so it's not a major surprise he won't require a significant rehab stint before being activated.

Andrew Knizner - Takes seat ThursdayKnizner isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ImpactKnizner went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday and will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Austin Romine is starting behind the dish and batting ninth, and he appears to be the slight favorite for playing time behind the dish for now.
