The outfielder has enjoyed a breakout campaign with a .280/.348/.542 slash line, 75 RBI, 83 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 508 plate appearances. He should continue to see near-everyday work in left field while typically batting third in the order.

Knocks in three in win O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Brewers.

The versatile slugger extended his hitting streak to eight games with Sunday's box-score-stuffing performance, pushing his season slash line to an outstanding .282/.353/.536 and bumping his increasingly impressive steals tally to 13 across 17 attempts.

Belts 24th homer O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 victory versus the Dodgers.

Impact The slugger's eighth-inning solo shot seemed like icing on the cake when it stretched St. Louis' lead to 5-2, but the long ball ended up being the difference in the game as the Dodgers tallied two runs and fell just short of a comeback in the ninth. O'Neill's other plate appearances resulted in a hit-by-pitch and two strikeouts, and he continues to produce despite whiffing at a prolific rate. Over his past 11 contests, O'Neill is slashing .350/.435/.700 with three homers and seven RBI while notching a 37 percent strikeout rate.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
