Homers, reaches base four times O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.
Impact O'Neill ripped a massive 455-foot, two-run shot in the seventh inning, his 23rd homer of the year. It was just his second home run in the last 15 games but he's sporting a .289 average with seven RBI during that span. The 26-year-old outfielder is up to 44 extra-base hits with 62 runs scored this season.

Launches 22nd long ball O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 15-4 blowout of the Brewers.
Impact The Cardinals hit six homers in the contest, with O'Neill's seventh-inning two-run shot traveling the farthest at 409 feet. He also struck out three times in the contest, continuing a recent trend that has seen the slugger whiff 10 times across his past 23 at-bats. However, he has also collected seven hits across that stretch, and the strikeouts are far less concerning as long as O'Neill continues to reach base.

Continues hitting Monday O'Neill went 2-for-4 with an RBI infield single in a win over the Reds on Monday.
Impact O'Neill's sixth-inning infield knock plated Dylan Carlson to give the Cardinals a bit more breathing room by extending their lead to two runs. The burly slugger has encouragingly gone 3-for-8 with a triple, two RBI and a walk over his last two games after posting a 1-for-10 tally in his first two contests following his return from a three-game absence.

Rips first career triple O'Neill went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and a walk in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday.
Impact O'Neill went 1-for-10 with a walk and a run in his first two contests back from a three-game absence due to back stiffness, but he snapped out of his doldrums with his first career three-bagger to open the scoring Sunday. O'Neill had hit .389 (7-for-18) with a home run and five RBI in the five games before his brief sabbatical, and perhaps Sunday's showing will reignite his bat.

On bench again with injury O'Neill (back) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact O'Neill's stiff back will keep him out of the starting nine for the third day in a row, but his appearance as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Tigers would seem to hint that he's not in much danger of landing on the injured list. Lars Nootbaar will pick up a start in left field Thursday in O'Neill's stead.

Remains out of lineup O'Neill (back) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact O'Neill was removed from Tuesday's lineup due to the Tigers due to back stiffness, and he'll remain sidelined for the series finale. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Wednesday, but Dylan Carlson will shift to left field while Tommy Edman starts in right.

Productive in loss O'Neill went 2-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday.
Impact O'Neill's seventh-inning sacrifice fly brought the Cardinals to within a run, but that ultimately proved to be their last one of the night. The steal put O'Neill's season tally at 10, a welcome complement to the 21 homers and .851 OPS he's also generated.

On base thrice, homer O'Neill went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in an 8-4 victory against the Brewers on Thursday.
Impact O'Neill walked in the first, nailed a go-ahead 450-foot long ball in the fifth off Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff and singled and scored in the seventh for St. Louis' eighth and final run. The home run was the 26-year-old's 21st of the season, making him the 15th player with at least 20 homers and nine steals in the bigs this year. A hot August featuring a .327 average has elevated O'Neill to a team-leading .274/.342/.518 slash line.
AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Scores twice in loss O'Neill went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in an extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact O'Neill's multi-hit effort snapped an arduous slump for the slugger, one what saw him go 2-for-27 with 16 strikeouts over the previous nine games. O'Neill's season slash line still sits at an impressive .270/.338/.508 across 96 games despite the recent difficulties, with all three components career-best figures.

Impact O'Neill has been in and out of the lineup over the last few days while battling an illness but he looks to be back on track. He launched his 19th homer of the season in the fourth inning and later came around to score again in the eighth. It was just his second homer over the last 15 games but he raised his season OPS to .858 through 351 plate appearances.

Rejoins lineup Friday O'Neill (illness) is starting in left field and batting cleanup Friday at Kansas City, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact O'Neill sat out two of the past three games while managing side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine, but he's back in the starting nine Friday. The fact he's playing the field and not serving as the designated hitter indicates the 26-year-old is fully recovered.
