After Mets lose Scherzer, Alonso HR in 10th beats Cards 7-6

Takes seat Thursday Sosa (ankle) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact Sosa had started in four of the Cardinals' last five games, but his absence from the lineup comes as little surprise after he exited Wednesday's 11-4 loss with an ankle issue. Despite getting a solid dose of playing time lately, Sosa still looks to be behind Tommy Edman and Brendan Donovan in the pecking order in the middle infield when St. Louis is at full strength. Sosa was awarded the start at shortstop Wednesday because Edman was managing a sore calf, but Edman is back in the lineup Thursday.

Nursing ankle strain Sosa was diagnosed with a strained left ankle after leaving Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Sosa went 1-for-2 and suffered the injury when he was caught attempting to steal second base during the fifth inning. It's interesting the injury was announced as a strain rather than a sprain, and he's been labeled day-to-day.

Exits with injury Sosa was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent leg injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sosa appeared to suffer the injury when he was caught stealing during the fifth inning, and he initially remained in the contest before being replaced in the field. He should be considered day-to-day since the specifics of the injury are unclear.

Sits after two straight starts Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sosa closed out the weekend with a second straight start at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Cardinals' 15-6 win over the Giants, but he'll give way to Brendan Donovan at shortstop for the afternoon game Tuesday. Given that Donovan bats from the left side, he could end up handling the larger side of a platoon at shortstop with the righty-hitting Sosa. Donovan has thus far done little to jeopardize his standing atop the depth chart, as he's provided a 1.015 OPS in his first 32 MLB plate appearances.

Activated from IL The Cardinals activated Sosa (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list Thursday.

Impact He'll assume the active roster spot of Kramer Robertson, who was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Sosa has been on the IL since testing positive for the virus May 3, but he cleared all COVID-19-related protocols a week later and played in rehab games Tuesday and Wednesday at Double-A Springfield, going a combined 3-for-8 at the plate. Though he'll be on the bench for Thursday's game against the Orioles as he rejoins the Cardinals, Sosa should get the chance to vie for an everyday role at shortstop following the demotion of Paul DeJong to Triple-A earlier in the week. Brendan Donovan will pick up his third consecutive start at shortstop Thursday.

Could return by Thursday Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Sosa (illness) could return from the COVID-19-related injured list as early as Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville...

Impact After clearing MLB's COVID-19 protocols, Sosa reported to Double-A Springfield to begin a rehab assignment as he works to regain conditioning following a week-long quarantine. He's scheduled to play the full game Tuesday, and Mozeliak said Sosa will play all nine innings for Springfield again Wednesday. If all goes well after he plays on back-to-back days, Sosa may not only find himself activated from the IL, but also in position to step into an everyday role at shortstop. Brendan Donovan will pick up the start at shortstop Tuesday against the Orioles following the struggling Paul DeJong's demotion to Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day, but Mozeliak said Sosa will have "every chance" to supplant Donovan for the job once he's available, according to John Denton of MLB.com.

On rehab assignment Sosa (illness) has cleared the COVID-19 protocol and is on a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Sosa's time with Springfield is likely to be short. He'll need a few reps to get back up to speed before rejoining St. Louis. Expect Sosa to return to a competition for playing time at shortstop with Paul DeJong once he's officially activated.

Placed on COVID-19 list The Cardinals placed Sosa on the COVID-19-related injury list Tuesday.

Impact St. Louis didn't specify a reason for Sosa's placement on the IL, which follows the pattern teams have frequently used when they send players to the COVID-19 IL. The Cardinals haven't revealed whether Sosa tested positive for the virus, making it unclear when he might be ready to return to the active roster. Juan Yepez was recalled from Triple-A Memphis as a replacement on the roster for Sosa.

Notches steal in loss Sosa went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact The Cardinals were only able to put four runners aboard Saturday against Merrill Kelly and a pair of relievers. Sosa has started to mount a playing-time challenge to primary shortstop Paul DeJong, though both infielders are below the Mendoza Line. Sosa is slashing .174/.269/.174 with three runs scored and a stolen base in 26 plate appearances, but all four of his hits have been singles. He'll need to show more at the dish to justify a larger role.
