Retreats to bench Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Sosa went 5-for-14 with two runs while starting each of the past four games for the Cardinals, but he appears set to move back into a full-time bench role after everyday shortstop Paul DeJong (back) was cleared to return from a three-game absence.

Draws third straight start Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Royals.

Impact After going 3-for-4 with a pair of runs in Saturday's 9-4 win while filling in at shortstop for the banged-up Paul DeJong (back), Sosa will pick up another start in the series finale. Sosa is making his third consecutive start overall -- he manned third base in Friday's 6-0 win -- but he'll likely fade into a reserve role in the infield beginning next week. DeJong is expected to be good to go for Tuesday's series opener versus the Brewers.

Laces three-bagger in win Sosa went 2-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

Impact Sosa is now 5-for-11 with Tuesday's triple and a home run over his last three starts. The 25-year-old's .254 average and .328 on-base percentage are serviceable, but the irregularity in his playing time helps cap his fantasy value overall.

Reaches base four times Sosa went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 win over Minnesota.

Impact Sosa knocked two singles, including an RBI base hit in the sixth inning, and an eighth-inning solo shot in Sunday's victory. It was the third homer of the season for the 25-year-old infielder and his first since July 6, which was also the last time he registered a multi-hit game. Sosa owns a .681 OPS with eight extra-base hits through 184 plate appearances.

Wainwright solid for 7, rookie Sosa homers, Cards down Twins

AUGUST 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Struggling through most of July Sosa is hitting .176 (3-for-17) with six strikeouts and one hit-by-pitch over his last 10 games.

Impact Sosa has seen fairly steady work as an in-game defensive replacement over that span; however, he hasn't exactly been discerning at the plate, as both his average and complete lack of walks suggest. Sosa still carries a serviceable .324 on-base percentage for the season, but his average has dropped 10 points to .247 during his current skid.

Tallies three hits Sosa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Tuesday in a 6-5 win over San Francisco.

Impact Sosa came into the contest without a hit in July, going 0-for-8 through four games. He turned things around with his second three-hit performance of the season. Sosa came through with a solo shot in the eighth inning for what proved to be the difference in the narrow win. The infielder is slashing .255/.335/.340 overall on the campaign.

Productive in return Sosa (leg) went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Impact The valued utility player was given the weekend off after exiting Friday's game early with cramps, and the downtime apparently did him some good. The multi-hit effort was Sosa's first since June 14, while the two-bagger marked the 25-year-old's first extra-base hit since he launched his first career home run against the Reds on June 4.

Starting Monday Sosa (leg) is starting Monday's game against Arizona, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Sosa had missed the last few games due to cramps, but he's healthy enough to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in his return.

Absences possibly due to cramps Sosa exited Friday's game against the Pirates in the sixth inning with cramps, the Associated Press reports, and he was not in the lineup for either Saturday's or Sunday's contests...

Impact There hasn't been a specific update regarding Sosa, but he'd logged seven starts in the 10 games prior to his early exit Friday. Therefore, his absence over the weekend could well be at least partly health-related, and it remains to be seen if Sosa will return to the lineup Monday in a home matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Expected to lose work Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Sosa has gone 4-for-22 while starting at second base in seven of the Cardinals' last eight games, but his opportunities are likely to dwindle moving forward after St. Louis called up outfield prospect Lars Nootbaar from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday. With the Cardinals expected to give Nootbaar a trial run as an everyday player in the corner outfield, Tommy Edman will likely move back to his natural spot at second base, which will leaves no room for Sosa.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Emerging as lineup regular Sosa will start at second base and bat seventh in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Impact With Tommy Edman spending most of his time in right field these days, Sosa appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the Cardinals' preferred option at the keystone ahead of Matt Carpenter. Sosa will stick in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, even though the lefty-hitting Carpenter holds the platoon advantage with right-hander Bryse Wilson on the hill for Atlanta.

JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Singles in return Sosa (hand) went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing on his one attempt in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

Impact The utility asset was back in the lineup after a one-game absence and managed one of only three hits for the Cardinals on the night. Sosa has now hit safely in three of the last four games and continues to be pleasant surprise at the plate, as evidenced by his .267 average and .358 on-base percentage across 120 plate appearances.

Back in lineup Friday Sosa (hand) is starting at second base and batting seventh Friday against Atlanta, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Sosa was diagnosed with a hand contusion after exiting Wednesday's game against the Marlins because he was hit by a pitch. He did not play in Thursday's loss to Atlanta but will return to the lineup Friday after missing just the one game.
