Big performance in matinee Ravelo went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI during a 12-2 win over the Tigers in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Impact Getting the start as the DH in the matinee, Ravelo connected off Nick Ramirez in the sixth inning for his first homer of 2020. The 28-year-old has gone 4-for-11 since rejoining the Cards' roster with five RBI in three games.

First appearance since activation Ravelo went 1-for-5 with an RBI double in a win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Impact Ravelo drew the start at designated hitter for only his second game action of the season, a campaign during which he had to overcome a COVID-19 infection that was part of the team's outbreak in August. The 28-year-old's third-inning double Sunday plated Tyler O'Neill to give the Cardinals a 5-3 lead and Ravelo his first RBI since Sept. 25 of last season. Now that he's healthy, Ravelo may have a chance at semi-regular playing time at either DH or as a potential fill-in at a corner infield spot for what remains of the regular season.

Cardinals return to St. Louis, get in workout ahead of games

The St. Louis Cardinals have returned to the field for light workouts nearly a week after an outbreak of COVID-19 forced the club and its staff members to quarantine in Milwaukee

Placed on injured list Ravelo (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Impact Ravelo was one of the players that gave the Cardinals permission to release the news of his positive diagnosis for COVID-19 amid the team's outbreak, and his placement on the injured list will free up a spot on the active roster. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return to the team once he produces two consecutive negative tests. The Cardinals purchased Max Schrock's contract in a corresponding move to fill Ravelo's depth role on the roster.

Cards' Yadier Molina says he tested positive for COVID-19

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina says he’s one of the players on the team who tested positive for COVID-19

AUGUST 4, 2020 • Associated Press

Part of COVID-19 outbreak Ravelo is one of the Cardinals who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Impact The Cardinals have been shut down for a week to avoid a further spread of the virus. Ravelo has appeared in just one game this season, so if the team returns before he clears league protocols, his absence won't significantly impact the team's plans.

Still projected for some DH duty Now that the universal implementation of the designated hitter in 2020 is official, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports Ravelo could be one of several players the Cardinals deploy in th...

Impact Ravelo originally projected to serve as the team's primary pinch hitter, a role the departed Jose Martinez held last season. However, with the DH rule now offering manager Mike Shildt an opportunity to get an extra bat into the lineup each day, president of baseball operations John Mozeliak specifically mentioned Ravelo as an option to rotate into the spot on occasion. The long-time minor-leaguer finally got his first majors break last season, slashing .205/.256/.410 across 43 plate appearances.

Likely strong DH candidate Ravelo would be a natural candidate to frequently slot in at designated hitter if the position is instituted universally during an abbreviated 2020 season, Rick Hummel of the St. L...

Impact Ravelo was already on track to stick as a reserve first baseman and pinch hitter when spring training was suspended, but the likelihood the DH slot becomes one manager Mike Shildt regularly has to fill potentially gives the 28-year-old a chance to play on a near everyday basis. Ravelo finally saw his first big-league regular-season action in 2019 after toiling for 10 seasons in the minors, and he hit .237 (9-for-38) across 14 Grapefruit League games before play was paused.
