TYLER O'NEILL NEWS

Notches theft in win O'Neill went 2-for-6 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 16-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact O'Neill doubled, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. The outfielder has racked up four multi-hit efforts in his last five starts, but his steal Saturday was his first since July 29. Through 288 plate appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .230/.299/.355 with seven home runs, nine steals, 41 RBI, 38 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple. His strong defense should keep him in the lineup on a near-everyday basis in left field.

Solo shot in win O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Brewers.

Impact After Albert Pujols launched a solo home run in the second inning, O'Neill hit one of his own in the sixth inning and tied the game at two runs apiece. It was O'Neill's second homer of the month, his first since Aug. 4, and his seventh of the season. The outfielder had gone hitless in his previous three games, striking out six times during that span. He has a .167 batting average for the month thanks to going 6-for-36 with 12 strikeouts. Across 11 games this month, O'Neill's batting average has dropped from .232 to .223.

Lifts go-ahead homer O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a 7-2 win over the Cubs in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Impact O'Neill was rested for the matinee after missing two games earlier in the week due to leg cramps. He was back in left field for the nightcap, and he delivered the game-winning hit in the seventh inning, a three-run blast off Cubs reliever Kervin Castro. In his last nine games, O'Neill has struggled, going 6-for-30 (.200) with two homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. The outfielder is slashing .233/.300/.364 with eight steals, six homers, 36 RBI and 30 runs scored through 57 contests overall.

Not starting matinee O'Neill isn't in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill was slated to start Wednesday against the Cubs before the game was postponed, but he'll ultimately sit out the first game of Thursday's twin bill. It's not yet clear whether he's still dealing with cramping in his leg or whether he'll start the nightcap.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Wednesday O'Neill (leg) is starting Wednesday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill missed the last two games due to cramping in his leg, but he'll start in left field and bat fifth Wednesday. Over his last five games, he's gone 2-for-17 with a double, three runs, a stolen base, three walks and six strikeouts.

Remains out of lineup O'Neill (leg) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill sat out Sunday after leaving Saturday's game with cramping, and he will remain on the bench despite a team off day Monday. Lars Nootbaar will take O'Neill's place in the Cardinals' outfield.

Not in Sunday's lineup O'Neill (leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Washington.

Exits Saturday's game O'Neill exited Saturday's game against the Nationals due to leg cramps, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact O'Neill exited in the fifth inning, with Corey Dickerson taking over in left field. The injury doesn't appear to be particularly serious, though it's possible that the Cardinals opt to sit O'Neill on Sunday as the team has no game scheduled Monday.

Steals base amid slump O'Neill went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact In his last four games, O'Neill has gone 0-for-15, though he's drawn three walks and scored three runs in that span. The outfielder's slump at the plate has dropped his slash line to .225/.292/.340 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 29 runs scored and eight steals in 54 contests this season. With Harrison Bader (foot) and Juan Yepez (forearm) still sidelined for a minimum of a week more and likely longer, O'Neill's playing time is fairly safe. Corey Dickerson will likely be his top competition in the short term.

JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Saturday's win O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Reds.

Impact O'Neill has hit safely in four of five games since returning from the injured list, though his homer Saturday was his first extra-base hit in that span. He's slashing .243/.303/.368 with five long balls, seven steals, 33 RBI and 26 runs scored through 50 contests. Injuries have limited the 27-year-old this year, but he should continue to serve as the Cardinals' top left fielder when healthy.

Drives in pair, scores once O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Impact O'Neill delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to give St. Louis a short-lived lead. In four starts since returning from the injured list, O'Neill has collected three hits across 14 at-bats with no extra-base hits. For the season, he has maintained a .239/.300/.350 line across 203 plate appearances.

Reinstated from injured list O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start in left field and bat sixth Thursday against the Dodgers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Neill has been sidelined past few weeks by hamstring and wrist injuries, but he's back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus Los Angeles. The 27-year-old had a slow start to the season, but he posted a .905 OPS through 13 games in June before landing on the injured list.

Won't return Wednesday O'Neill (hamstring) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals hoped that O'Neill would be able to rejoin the team as early as Wednesday, but he'll spend at least one more day on the IL as a precautionary measure. It's possible that he'll be back in action for Thursday's series finale against the Dodgers.

Could be back Wednesday O'Neill (hamstring) said his bruised right wrist checked out fine following a full workout Monday, potentially putting him on track to come off the 10-day injured list as soon as W...

Impact O'Neill has received full medical clearance from the wrist injury as well as the left hamstring strain that initially forced him to the IL on June 20, but the Cardinals may want to see him play in at least one more rehab game in the minors before activating him. Whether he comes off the IL on Wednesday or later in the week, O'Neill should take back a full-time role in left field upon his return to the lineup.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for full workout O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) will take full batting practice and participate in throwing drills Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill has been on the injured list since June 20 with a left hamstring strain, but it was a small tear as well as bruising to his left wrist that resulted in him being pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis a few days ago. Fortunately, O'Neill's ability to resume workouts less than a week later suggests he won't be in store for an extended absence. The Cardinals may want to send him back to Triple-A for another rehab game or two before activating him from the IL, but O'Neill at least looks like he has an outside shot at making it back prior to the All-Star break.
