Luis L. Ortiz - Confirmed as Wednesday's starterOrtiz will start Wednesday against the Cardinals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports.

ImpactOrtiz has split the season evenly between Triple-A Indianapolis and the majors, 5hough he hasn't experienced much success at either level. Across 53.2 frames in Pittsburgh, he maintained only a 34:26 K: BB while serving up 1.8 HR/9. Positively, he's worked four or five frames in each of his last five appearances in the minors, so he could work deep enough into the game to qualify for a win if his start goes well.

Willson Contreras - Ejected for arguingContreras was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Pirates after arguing about the strike zone, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

ImpactContreras struck out swinging to end the top of the seventh inning with the bases loaded, though he appeared to be upset about a call earlier in the at-bat. Andrew Knizner took over behind the dish in his place.

Drew Rom - Will get another startRom is tentatively scheduled to start Sunday in Philadelphia, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

ImpactRom struggled in his major-league debut Monday versus the Pirates, yielding eight runs -- six earned -- on eight hits and four walks over just 3.2 innings of work. He probably would have been sent back to the minors Tuesday under normal circumstances, but the Cardinals need him to fill a rotation spot after having to place Matthew Liberatore (back) on the 15-day injured list.

Dylan Carlson - Hopes to return this seasonCarlson (ankle/oblique) said Tuesday that he's hoping to play again this season, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

ImpactCarlson is working back from both a Grade 2 left oblique strain and a lingering left ankle injury, the latter of which could eventually require surgery. He'll receive an injection for the ankle this week and is aiming to pick up the intensity of his side work over the next 10 days. If he does return to the Cardinals' active roster before the end of the year, it probably won't be until at least mid-September.

Ryan Helsley - MRI again clean on forearmHelsley was cleared of any structural damage in his right forearm Tuesday following another MRI, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

ImpactHelsley continues to be bothered by lingering pain and tightness in his forearm, but he is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week in St. Louis and could then resume his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis. Given the string of recent setbacks, it's hard to guess on a timetable for his return to the Cardinals' bullpen. The 29-year-old has been on the injured list since early June.
