Impact O'Neill is off to a strong start with his new team, going 4-for-10 with three walks and two homers.

Impact O'Neill, who hasn't played the field since March 14 due to lingering issues with his calf, started at DH in his last three spring games. The Red Sox, however, expect him to be ready for full duty by Opening Day, per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. O'Neill is 9-for-30 (.300) with two doubles, one home run, three RBI and seven runs scored over 11 spring games.

Back in lineup Tuesday O'Neill (calf) is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth for the Red Sox in Tuesday's contest against the Rays, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill's left calf first tightened up on him nearly two weeks ago and he had to be scratched from the lineup this past Friday when it flared up on him again. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday at DH. The Red Sox will want O'Neill to show he can play the outfield before the camp breaks, but it's not clear when he might be ready for that.

Eyeing Tuesday return Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he's hopeful for O'Neill (calf) to return to the Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday versus the Rays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican re...

Impact Cora acknowledged that if O'Neill isn't ready to play Tuesday, the outfielder's availability for the March 28 season opener versus the Mariners would start to become more of a question mark, but for now, the Red Sox are expecting him to be ready to go for the start of the campaign. If O'Neill doesn't make enough progress in his recovery from the sore left calf, the Red Sox would likely be able to open up everyday roles in the outfield for both Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela alongside Jarren Duran.

Out with foot sprain O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained right foot, Katie Woo of The Athleticreports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly O'Neill suffered the injury, but he was mired in a 1-for-18 slump over his previous five games. The 27-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated during the final week of the regular season, but the Cardinals could opt to hold him out with nothing of consequence to play for. Juan Yepez was recalled in a corresponding move, though it'll be Richie Palacios taking O'Neill's place in left field Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big night in Tuesday's win O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

Impact The 28-year-old outfielder put together his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 11, while his second-inning shot off Michael Soroka gave O'Neill homers in back-to-back games, and seven in 28 contests since the beginning of August. Sustained success has been tough for O'Neill to come by in 2023, but a 5-for-12 start to September offers some hope he could be poised for a big final month.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup O'Neill is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The long ball the eighth in what has been another injury-plagued season for O'Neill, as he's missed over 70 games due to back and knee issues. The outfielder has largely struggled when he has been able to play, slashing .232/.315/.411 with 19 RBI, 24 runs, four steals and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate over 232 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup O'Neill (knee) is starting in left field and batting sixth Friday against Pittsburgh.

Notches steal in return O'Neill (knee) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact O'Neill sat out with knee discomfort Sunday, but it was a minor enough issue for him to only miss one game. The outfielder played the full game in left field, which should alleviate concerns about the injury. He's up to four steals on the year while slashing .236/.323/.405 across 60 contests.
