Big production in loss O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base Wednesday against the Phillies.

Impact O'Neill got the Cardinals on the board with a two-run homer in the second inning -- his fourth long ball of the season. He continued to reach base throughout the contest, which gave him the opportunity to swipe his first stolen base of the campaign. Though he's hitting only .217 due to a 35.4 percent strikeout rate, O'Neill has delivered four home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored across 48 plate appearances to this point.

Dealing with minor foot issue O'Neill fouled a ball off his foot Thursday, which explains why he's absence from the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The Cardinals evidently believe O'Neill can play some role in Friday's contest, as they activated him from the 10-day inured list Friday after he missed time with a strained right groin. The foot issue appears to be a minor one, as he's expected to return to the lineup Saturday.

On track to return Friday O'Neill (groin) is expected to return to game action Friday against the Reds, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has been sidelined since April 11 due to a right groin strain, but it appears as though he'll be able to return after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The 25-year-old has been ramping up his sprinting recently and homered in each of his last two simulated games. O'Neill should reclaim his role as the Cardinals' primary left fielder once he's officially cleared to return.

Lands on injured list O'Neill (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old exited Saturday's loss to Milwaukee with right groin tightness, and the injury has now been diagnosed as a strain. O'Neill will be eligible to be activated April 21, and he appears to be tracking toward a minimum IL stint, as manager Mike Shildt said the outfielder's imaging was "favorable," per Katie Woo of The Athletic. Lane Thomas was promoted to bolster the Cardinals' outfield depth.

Carries over spring heater O'Neill, who hit .356 in Grapefruit League play, went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's season-opening win over the Reds.

Impact The slugger encouragingly kept his hot bat going to open the regular season, belting a 391-foot shot in the fourth inning. O'Neill's ability to continue flashing his well-documented power stroke without sacrificing consistent contact is seen as key to him taking the next step as a hitter in 2021.
