Corey Dickerson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Rehab assignment paused Dickerson (calf) had his rehab assignment paused Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Dickerson resumed his rehab assignment Tuesday, but he's still dealing with a calf injury and is being examined further by the team's medical staff. Although he took batting practice Friday, it's not yet clear when he'll be able to head back to Triple-A Memphis to resume his rehab stint.

Resumes rehab Tuesday Dickerson (calf) went 2-for-2 with a double for Triple-A Memphis in its game Tuesday versus Indianapolis.

Impact Dickerson's rehab assignment hit a setback over the weekend in the form of renewed soreness in his strained left calf, but he was only out for a couple of days. The veteran outfielder will likely need a few more rehab games, including potentially a start or two in the field, before he'd be ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list.

Dealing with setback Dickerson is experiencing renewed soreness in his strained left calf, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Dickerson went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, but the recurring soreness in his calf kept him out of the lineup over the weekend. Goold reports that the outfielder will try to resume his rehab Tuesday, but he'll likely need multiple appearances to prove his health and get his timing back at the plate. As such, it seems unlikely he'll be back during the upcoming four-game road series versus the Brewers.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Thursday Dickerson (calf) will report to Triple-A Memphis to begin a rehab assignment Thursday.

Impact Dickerson has been sidelined since exiting a June 4 game against the Cubs with a left calf strain. He had been starting to see more frequent starts as a designated hitter and corner outfield prior to getting hurt, but Dickerson will likely have to settle for a lesser role once he's healthy. Since Dickerson was deactivated, the Cardinals have returned Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson from the 10-day injured list, while rookies Nolan Gorman and Brendan Donovan have established themselves as everyday players.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Could begin assignment next week Dickerson (calf) said Tuesday that he's hopeful to begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, if not sooner, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson's comments came after he took part in straight-line running on the field for the second day in a row. The 33-year-old has also been taking batting practice of late, but running the curves of the basepaths and showing he can change direction in the outfield may be the final hurdles he needs to clear in his recovery from a left calf strain before the Cardinals send him out on a rehab assignment. With both Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson beating him back from the 10-day injured list, Dickerson will likely have to settle for a reserve role once he's activated.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Faces pitching Dickerson (calf) took live batting practice and did some running on the field Sunday, Joe Harris of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson has been on the shelf since June 5 after suffering a left calf strain while running from right field to the dugout. Manager Oliver Marmol said Dickerson will do some more running on the bases Monday before the Cardinals decide on his next steps.

JUNE 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out with calf strain Dickerson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left calf strain.

Impact He hit .212 with two home runs over his last 10 games. Dickerson suffered the injury in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader. Lars Nootbaar should get extra playing time in the short term.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting nightcap Dickerson (calf) isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson exited Saturday's matinee in the middle of the second inning due to left calf discomfort and will be out of the lineup for the second game of the twin bill. Brendan Donovan is starting in left field and batting fifth, and Dickerson should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Managing left calf discomfort Dickerson exited the first game of Saturday's doubleheader due to left calf discomfort, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson talked with a trainer for several minutes after pulling up on his way to right field in the middle of the second inning, and he was ultimately removed from the game. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day after receiving his diagnosis, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's nightcap.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with apparent injury Dickerson was removed from the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs in the middle of the second inning due to an apparent left calf injury, Jeff Jones of the Bell...

Impact Dickerson didn't make a plate appearance to begin Saturday's matinee, but he appeared to tweak something while running to right field in the middle of the second inning. The 33-year-old gestured to his left calf and was examined by trainers for several minutes before ultimately leaving the game. The exact nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Hits pair of homers Dickerson went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 14-5 win over the Cubs.

Impact Dickerson hadn't gone yard all year, but he snapped the power drought with solo shots in the fourth and ninth innings. It's been a slow start at the dish for the outfielder, who is slashing just .194/.245/.286 with 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles through 106 plate appearances. He shouldn't be expected to see much more than a part-time role, mainly against right-handed pitching, especially once Dylan Carlson (hamstring) and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) are ready to return.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Thursday Dickerson isn't starting Thursday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday against the Padres, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Juan Yepez will take over in left field while Albert Pujols serves as the designated hitter.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against lefty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Dickerson was on the bench Monday against a right-handed starting pitcher (Nick Martinez), but his absence Tuesday comes with a lefty (Blake Snell) toeing the rubber for San Diego. Dickerson will likely continue to sit regularly versus southpaws, but he may still have a path to at least a part-time role against right-handed pitching, especially while both Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) and Dylan Carlson (hamstring) remain on the injured list.

MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Monday Dickerson is not in the starting lineup for Monday's contest versus the Padres, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact After starting two straight games, going 1-for-6 with a run scored, Dickerson will get a breather Monday. Albert Pujols will get the start at designated hitter and bat sixth as the team takes on Nick Martinez and the Padres.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight start in left field Dickerson will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson has primarily been deployed as part of a platoon at designated hitter with Albert Pujols this season, but the latter will now pick up his second straight start in left field. With Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) on the injured list and Dylan Carlson (hamstring) at risk of joining him there, Dickerson could be in store for a near-everyday role in the corner outfield in the short term.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Sits after three-strikeout game Dickerson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact Dickerson picked up his second straight start in Wednesday's 11-4 loss, getting the nod in left field over the slumping Tyler O'Neill. He went hitless while striking out three times in four at-bats, dropping his season average to .185. Neither O'Neill (.193 average) nor Dickerson is making a strong case for an everyday role, so manager Oliver Marmol could be inclined to opt for a rotation in left field and designated hitter until a hot bat emerges. Albert Pujols will enter the lineup Thursday while both O'Neill and Dickerson are on the bench.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Thursday Dickerson is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Orioles, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson started at designated hitter Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a double and run in the 10-1 win over the Orioles. Paul Goldschmidt will slide into the designated hitter role while Albert Pujols enters the lineup at first base and will bat fifth as the Cardinals try to take the rubber match Thursday.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Dickerson isn't starting Saturday against the Giants.

Impact Dickerson went 1-for-3 with a run and two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Cardinals, and he'll be on the bench for the second time in the last three games. Juan Yepez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Thursday Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Even though right-hander Mauricio Llovera is on the mound for San Francisco on Thursday, Dickerson will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Juan Yepez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against southpaw Dickerson isn't starting Wednesday against Kansas City, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson took a seat against a right-handed pitcher in Tuesday's series opener, but his absence from the lineup against southpaw Kris Bubic is less surprising. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Dickerson typically handles the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter, but he'll take a seat Tuesday in favor of the righty-hitting Albert Pujols even with Kansas City bringing a right-hander (Brad Keller) to the mound. Dickerson's move to the bench may just be a byproduct of the Cardinals wanting to find more work for Pujols, who has received only 20 plate appearances in seven games over the past two weeks.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Dickerson isn't starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dickerson went 3-for-7 with a run and three RBI over the last two games but will get a breather with left-hander Madison Bumgarner starting for Arizona. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out against righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dickerson typically serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter against right-handed pitchers like the Mets' Chris Bassitt, but he'll take a seat with Paul Goldschmidt getting a day out of the field. Brendan Donovan will pick up his first MLB start at first base while Goldschmidt serves as the DH.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Dickerson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Impact Dickerson started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored, but he'll head to the bench with lefty Nick Lodolo starting for the Reds. Albert Pujols will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Thursday's lineup Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson has hit just .133 with three RBI, two walks and two strikeouts this season, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games, even though right-hander Pablo Lopez is on the mound for the Marlins. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.
