Burleson homers and drives in 3 to back May as Cardinals blank Mets 7-0 for 5th straight win

Alec Burleson homered and drove in three runs to power the surging St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-0 victory over the New York Mets
7 HOURS AGO • Associated Press
Cardinals' Nathan Church Officially Returns With New Role The St. Louis Cardinals will have Nathan Church back in the mix on Tuesday.
13 HOURS AGO • SI.COM
Activated from injured list The Cardinals activated Church (shoulder) from the injured list Tuesday, reports Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest.
Impact After landing on the IL May 22, Church will return to St. Louis after missing over two weeks of action. Before hitting the injured list, the 25-year-old slashed .247/.282/.390 with five homers and 18 RBI. St. Louis optioned Victor Scott in order to make room for Church on the active roster. Church will play center field and bat ninth for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Cardinals reportedly option Scott with Church ready for return from IL Despite laying down an important bunt in Sunday's sweep-securing win over the Reds, Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is being optioned t...

Poised for activation Tuesday Church (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact It's the corresponding move for Victor Scott, who is headed to Triple-A Memphis. Church has been sidelined since late May with a left shoulder strain but has been cleared to return after playing a couple rehab games with Memphis. With Scott in the minors, Church is likely to see the bulk of the starts in center field for St. Louis, at least against right-handed pitching.

Could return Tuesday Church (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Church started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, though he didn't look great at the plate in his two rehab games, going 0-for-6 with a strikeout. However, the important thing for Church was that he looked healthy while playing in Triple-A, and it appears he's nearly fully recovered from a left shoulder strain that caused him to go on the 10-day IL in late May. Victor Scott's playing time would likely decrease once Church returns to the majors.

Slated for rehab games Church (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Derrick Goold and Amber Winkler of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch report.
Impact Church has been upping his activity level of late and now a rehab stint has been scheduled. He's missed less than two weeks with a left shoulder strain, so Church's rehab assignment should not be a lengthy one.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Begins throwing, taking BP Church (shoulder) has begun a throwing program and has been taking batting practice, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Church has been sidelined for nearly two weeks while dealing with a left shoulder strain. He will likely need a rehab assignment before activation from the 10-day injured list and appears close to being game-ready. With Lars Nootbaar (heels) expected to return before him, Church's best chance at playing time once he makes it back could be unseating Victor Scott in center field.
JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE
Cardinals' Nathan Church Recovery Taking Encouraging Turn The St. Louis Cardinals got some positive news about young outfielder Nathan Church.
MAY 27 • SI.COM
Cleared for strengthening program Church (shoulder) received clearance from a specialist Tuesday to start a plyometric and strengthening program, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact It's a necessary first step in Church's rehab, but he's still in the early stages of recovery and there remains no timetable for his return from a left shoulder strain. Lars Nootbaar (heels) appears poised to beat Church back from the injured list, which will likely lead to a dip in playing time for Church after he returns.

MAY 23 • Associated Press
Did Cardinals Make Right Call With Nathan Church Replacement? The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to place Nathan Church on the Injured List.
MAY 23 • SI.COM
Lands on IL with shoulder strain The Cardinals placed Church on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder strain.
Impact Church had to be scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Pirates because he was "just a little beat up," per manager Oliver Marmol. While it's now known that the injury is focused on his shoulder, it's unclear how long Church might be out. Lars Nootbaar (heels) is due back June 1, so Church could see a dip in playing time when he does return to the active roster.
MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Cardinals Lose Nathan Church to IL at Bad Time The St. Louis Cardinals aren't going to have Nathan Church back into the lineup for a bit.
MAY 22 • SI.COM
Could be headed for IL Church (lower body) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Church was scratched from the lineup Thursday against the Pirates because he was "just a little beat up," according to manager Oliver Marmol. The outfielder appears to be dealing with something significant enough to require him to be sidelined moving forward, but it's currently unclear what exactly he's being hampered by. Outfielder Bryan Torres is expected to be called up from Triple-A Memphis on Friday in a corresponding move.
MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing general soreness Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Church was scratched from Thursday's lineup versus the Pirates because he's "just a little beat up," Brenden Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Church was removed from a game earlier this month after being hit on the left leg by a pitcher, though it's unclear whether this is related to that. Marmol indicated he would prefer to stay away from using Church off the bench Thursday, but the outfielder should be ready to play this weekend in Cincinnati. Jose Fermin is drawing a start in left field Thursday in Church's place.
MAY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Scratched from lineup Church was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Impact There's no word yet on the reasoning behind Church being pulled from the lineup, but the Cardinals should provide clarity soon. Jose Fermin will handle left field and bat seventh for St. Louis.

Manny Machado hit his 375th career homer and 200th in a Padres uniform, Ty France also went deep and San Diego beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Saturday
MAY 10 • Associated Press
Listed in Thurdsay's lineup Church (leg) will start in left field and bat seventh against the Padres on Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Church was taken out of Wednesday's game against Milwaukee after taking a pitch off his leg in the second inning, but the incident won't end up costing him a start. The 25-year-old outfielder has slashed .248/.284/.436 through 109 plate appearances this season and has hit safely in each of the last five games in which he logged multiple at-bats.
