Cardinals Notes: O'Neill, Yepez, Romero, Flaherty

The Cardinals announced this morning that they have placed outfielder Tyler O’Neill on the 10-day injured list with a right foot sprain. First baseman Juan Yepez was recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding move. The sprain presumably brings O’Neill’s 2023 campaign to a close, given the limited time remaining on the regular season schedule. Despite…

Tyler O'Neill Back In Action Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles and left-hander John Means, who is making his first start back from Tommy John surgery. O'Neill didn't take part in his club's 12-5 series-opening loss on Monday but will take over in left field and hit sixth on Tuesday while Alec Burleson hits the bench. O'Neill has recovered from a slow start to produce a solid season thanks to an .840 OPS along with seven homers, 10 doubles, and four stolen bases across 38 games in the season's second half. He's up to a .242 average along with nine homers, five stolen bases, and a .750 OPS across 68 games as he also missed significant time with a shoulder injury earlier in the season.

Tyler O'Neill Not Playing Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles on the road. O'Neill continues to manage a knee injury, so the Cardinals have been giving him regular rest of late. On top of injuries, the 28-year-old Canadian has disappointed in 2023, hitting .242 (54-for-223) with nine home runs, 14 doubles, 21 RBI, five stolen bases and 27 runs scored in 68 games for the Red Birds in his sixth big-league season. With O'Neill starting on the bench Monday, Tommy Edman is starting in center field and batting eighth in the order against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer.

Tyler O'Neill To The Bench On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It doesn't appear that O'Neill is dealing with an injury, so this is probably just a routine rest day. O'Neill is 8-for-21 at the plate with two home runs and five RBI since the beginning of September. The 28-year-old has struggled at the times this season, but appears to be finally turning a corner. In his absence, Richie Palacios will cover left field and bat eighth versus right-hander Carson Spiers on Saturday.

Tyler O'Neill Not Playing On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. The Cardinals will give O'Neill the night off against tough right-hander Spencer Strider, even after he went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in the win over Atlanta on Tuesday. Lars Nootbaar will play left, Tommy Edman will man center field and Jordan Walker will play right on Wednesday. The 28-year-old O'Neill has had a disappointing 2023 and only has 211 at-bats because of injuries. However, he's started the month of September strong by going 5-for-12 with two home runs, a double, five RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored three games. Fantasy managers can only hope O'Neill will reward them in the final month of the season.

Tyler O'Neill Back For The Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in left field and is hitting sixth for St. Louis on Friday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller. The Cardinals held the oft-injured O'Neill out of Thursday's lineup with recurring left-knee soreness, but he'll be back in there for the weekend series against Pittsburgh. Injuries aside, not much has gone right for the 28-year-old Canadian power/speed threat in 2023, as he's hitting just .231/.317/.397 in 199 at-bats with seven home runs, 16 RBI, four stolen bases and 23 runs scored for the Red Birds. In his last six games, he's gone 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts. All fantasy managers can hope for now is that he can end the year on a positive note heading into the offseason.

Tyler O'Neill Unavailable To Play Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is experiencing some knee discomfort and is unavailable to play in Wednesday's series finale against the San Diego Padres. Richie Palacios will get the start in left field and is hitting eighth against Padres left-hander Rich Hill. O'Neill's frustrating 2023 campaign continues, and he's been dealing with knee issues for most of the month of August. For now, consider the 28-year-old to be day-to-day. Hopefully another day off on Thursday will allow him to return to the lineup for the series opener on Friday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. O'Neill has managed to play in only 61 games in 2023 and is hitting .231 (46-for-199) with seven home runs, 16 RBI, four stolen bases and 23 runs scored in 224 trips to the plate.

Tyler O'Neill Back In Action Against Padres

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in left field and will hit second for the Red Birds on Monday against the visiting San Diego Padres and left-hander Blake Snell. The oft-injured O'Neill was scratched from the lineup for the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday with left-knee discomfort, but he's back in there a day later. The power/speed threat continues to disappoint fantasy managers that invested in him before the season, as he's hitting .240/.324/.411 with seven home runs, 12 doubles, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 23 runs in only 59 games played in 2023. Although he does have five home runs in 20 games (17 starts) in August, he's gone just 14-for-66 (.212) at the plate with 16 strikeouts in 76 plate appearances.

Tyler O'Neill Scratched With Knee Discomfort

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to left-knee discomfort. Richie Palacios is taking his spot in center field and will hit eighth in the order against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. It's yet another injury for the oft-injured O'Neill, but for now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. It's been another disappointing campaign in 2023 for the 28-year-old Canadian. He's played in only 59 games due to injuries and is currently hitting .240 (46-for-192) with seven home runs, 12 doubles, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 23 runs scored. Since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list on July 20, O'Neill has gone 25-for-100 (.250) with five homers, eight doubles, 10 RBI, two steals and 11 runs scored in 30 games (26 starts).

Tyler O'Neill Back On Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday after being scratched from the lineup the last two days with left-knee tightness. He is starting in left field and batting fifth against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zack Littell. Despite another disappointing campaign in 2023 due to an extended stay on the injured list with a back injury, O'Neill has fantasy appeal down the stretch due to his power/speed combination as a regular in St. Louis' outfield. Since returning from his back injury on July 20, O'Neill has gone 15-for-53 (.283) with three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in 15 games (14 starts). The 28-year-old Canadian is two years removed from hitting 34 home runs, driving in 80 and stealing 15 bases in 138 games.

Tyler O'Neill Expected To Return Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the team wanted to give outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) one more day of inactivity on Wednesday while he deals with left-knee tightness. The belief is that O'Neill will be in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old outfielder remains day-to-day after being scratched from the lineup each of the last two days. O'Neill has been swinging the bat much better since he returned from a back injury on July 20, but overall he has been a fantasy bust as a power/speed threat in the Cardinals lineup. The Canadian is currently batting .248 (36-for-145) with only five home runs, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored in 44 games. With better health down the stretch, hopefully O'Neill can finish the 2023 season strong.

Tyler O'Neill Scratched From Lineup Again

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day due to left-knee tightness. Alec Burleson will now man left field and bat seventh in the order against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill's disappointing 2023 campaign continues, and don't be surprised if his knee injury lands him back on the injured list at some point. The 28-year-old outfielder has been better since returning from an IL stint at the end of July, but overall he's been a massive disappointment for the struggling Cardinals. O'Neill has played in only 44 games (161 plate appearances) and is hitting .248 (36-for-145) with five homers, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Tyler O'Neill Returns For Wednesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting in left field and batting sixth against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill will return after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left-knee tightness. The 28-year-old Canadian has had another disappointing year after clubbing a career-high 34 home runs and driving in 80 in 2021. He's played in just 44 games in 2023 due to injuries and is hitting .248/.323/.407 with five home runs, eight doubles, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored in 161 plate appearances. The good news is that he's played better since returning from the injured list on July 20, going 15-for-53 (.283) with three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, one steal and seven runs scored in 15 games (14 starts). When healthy, O'Neill will be a lineup regular for St. Louis.

Tyler O'Neill Scratched On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with left-knee tightness. O'Neill was able to take batting practice and tracked fly balls in the outfield before the game, but he was scratched from the lineup. He's listed as day-to-day for now. In his absence, Alec Burleson will move into the lineup and bat sixth versus right-hander Zach Eflin.

Tyler O'Neill Registers Three Knocks Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill had a big day with the stick on Thursday, collecting three hits in three at-bats, with a double and a walk. The game brought the 28-year-old's slash line to .252/.326/.370, while he also has just two home runs, 16 runs, nine RBI, and a pair of steals across 37 games. O'Neill will likely stay put at the deadline amid another disappointing season, so fantasy managers can expect him to continue to get everyday reps in left. Hopefully, Thursday was a sign that the Canadian native is heating up and can produce as he did during his 2021 campaign, in which he went deep 34 times and swiped 15 bags.

The Cardinals’ logjam in the outfield has been well-documented by now, but one path to alleviating that situation apparently isn’t under consideration at this time; Katie Woo of The Athletic reports that the Cardinals plan to hold onto O’Neill at this year’s deadline. Elsewhere on the roster, the Cards have made clear to other clubs…

Tyler O'Neill Not Starting Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the team's lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. O'Neill was reinstated from the injured list last week and started four straight games spanning from Thursday to Sunday, so the team is likely looking to give him a day of rest. The Cards will have Lars Nootbaar in the outfield in place of O'Neill, who is likely to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. O'Neill is hitting .229 with two homers, 15 runs, and six RBI in 26 games in 2023.

Tyler O'Neill To Be Activated Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Thursday, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals are considering sending down a pitcher to make room for O'Neill on the active roster, but they want to wait until after Wednesday's bullpen game to do so. The 28-year-old has really struggled the last two seasons for the Cardinals and has been held back by injuries, but his power/speed combination in an everyday role for the Red Birds makes him worth rostering in most mixed leagues now that he's on the verge of a return to the big leagues. O'Neill hit just .228/.283/.337 with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in his first 29 games this year before injuring his back.

Tyler O'Neill On The Trade Block

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back), who the team is activating from the injured list on Tuesday, has a chance to be dealt at the deadline, according to Derrick Goold of MLB.com. The 28-year-old hasn't played much this season and is slashing just .228/.283/.337 with two homers, one steal, 12 runs, and six RBI over 29 games. However, it's his 2021 season, in which O'Neill went deep 34 times and stole 15 bases, that might make him attractive to other clubs. If he is traded, he'll be out of the Cardinal's crowded outfield mix and should receive everyday playing time.

Tyler O'Neill To Be Activated On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-handed slugger has been sidelined since the first week of May due to lingering back issues. O'Neill went through a full workout with the team on Monday, but that is all he's going to do. The Cardinals are going to wait until Tuesday to officially activate him. That being said, fantasy managers will be without O'Neill for at least one more game.

Tyler O'Neill Aiming To Return Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is aiming to be activated on Monday. He's currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and will serve as the designated hitter on Saturday before playing in the field on Sunday. If all goes well, the 28-year-old may return to the big club for the series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins. Unfortunately, O'Neill has struggled this season, so few fantasy managers are eager to see him make his way back. However, he's still worth monitoring moving ahead, especially if he starts to get hot.

Tyler O'Neill Could Return Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has restarted a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and is set to play seven innings in the field on Friday before serving as the designated hitter on Saturday. He will play again on Sunday and could be able to return from the injured list as early as next week. O'Neill has hit just .228 (21-for-92) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games due to injury this year for the Cardinals, but he figures to see regular playing time in St. Louis' outfield when he does finally make it back. The 28-year-old has been a huge disappointment the last two years, but his power/speed combination remains intriguing. O'Neill is rostered in only 43 percent of Yahoo leagues right now.

Tyler O'Neill To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis. O'Neill will serve as the designated hitter on Tuesday and eventually return to the outfield after passing a variety of stress tests. The Cardinals aren't going to rush him back since he's been out since early May with a back injury, so don't be surprised if he doesn't come off the injured list until after next week's All-Star break. The 28-year-old was hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with two homers, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games before his injury, but he'll be an everyday player for the Red Birds when he returns and has an intriguing power/speed profile. O'Neill is only rostered in 44% of Yahoo leagues right now, so consider grabbing him now if he's available in your league and you need outfield help.

Tyler O'Neill Targeting A Rehab Assignment Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has resumed baseball activities and is hoping to start a rehab assignment at some point next week. The 28-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since May 4 after suffering a lower back strain and landing on the injured list. O'Neill was struggling before the ailment, slashing .228/.283/.337 with two homers, 12 runs, six RBI, and one steal over 29 games. There's still no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will need to stay patient and continue to stash the power-speed threat in most formats. Hopefully, O'Neill can return closer to the player who went deep 34 times and stole 15 bags in 2021.
