Yohel Pozo - Swats homer in loss Pozo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
Impact Pozo accounted for two of St. Louis' three extra-base hits, hitting a double in the second inning and a solo homer in the sixth. He logged his first multi-hit effort since May 18, though that's largely because most of his opportunities since then have come as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. Pozo has made the most of his opportunities throughout the campaign, slashing .312/.330/.605 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored over 97 plate appearances.

Erick Fedde - Struggles again Saturday Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.
Impact Fedde struggled from the outset, serving up two solo homers and three total runs over the first two innings. He settled down a bit thereafter but couldn't complete five frames, as he was pulled with two runners on base and two outs in the fourth. Fedde has struggled mightily over his past four starts, giving up 20 runs and surrendering six long balls over 14.2 innings during that stretch. The Cardinals were said to be considering removing the right-hander from the rotation in favor of Michael McGreevy following his previous start, and Fedde's tepid performance Sunday could give St. Louis further reason to move in that direction.

Lars Nootbaar - Pulled with side discomfort Nootbaar was removed from Saturday's game against Atlanta due to left side discomfort, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Nootbaar has been dealing with a ribcage/intercostal injury over the past several weeks, which may have had something to do with his early removal Saturday. With the All-Star break quickly approaching, the Cardinals could look to get the 27-year-old an extra day of rest and sit him during Sunday's first-half finale.

Nolan Arenado - Sitting out Saturday Arenado (finger) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.
Impact Arenado sprained his right index finger during Friday's contest -- the second time he's done so in the past two weeks. He'll take a day off to heal Saturday, and the Cardinals may opt to keep him on the bench until play resumes following the All-Star break.

Matt Svanson - Headed back to minors The Cardinals optioned Svanson to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Svanson has been fairly reliable out of the bullpen for the Cardinals this season, turning in a 3.12 ERA and 0.81 WHIP through 26 innings. However, the Cardinals will prioritize filling their bullpen with a fresh arm heading into the All-Star break, so the 26-year-old will head back to Triple-A in favor of Gordon Graceffo.

Gordon Graceffo - Returns to St. Louis The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Graceffo owns a 6.62 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 17.2 innings with the Cardinals this season, but he's given up just one run in 7.1 frames since being sent to Triple-A on June 23. His recent turnaround will afford him another chance with the big club, and he'll replace Matt Svanson in St. Louis' bullpen.

Thomas Saggese - Will work out in outfield Saggese will go through pregame workouts and possibly see game action in the outfield, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Saggese has never played the outfield in pro ball, but increasing his versatility would give him another path to playing time, particularly with the Cardinals being left-handed heavy in the outfield. The 23-year-old has not yet found his swing at the big-league level, slashing just .241/.256/.342 in 26 contests. It seems likelier that Saggese's test drive in the outfield ultimately comes at Triple-A Memphis, once Ivan Herrera (hamstring) and Jordan Walker (appendix) return from the 10-day injured list.

Jordan Walker - No timetable for activation The Cardinals have no specific timetable for Walker's (appendix) activation from the 10-day injured list, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Walker is physically recovered from a bout with appendicitis, but the Cardinals are having him work on a swing change on his rehab assignment at Double-A Springfield and want to see some positive results at the plate before activating him. Those positive results have yet to come, as Walker is 5-for-38 with 14 strikeouts thus far in 10 rehab games between Springfield and Triple-A Memphis. He did homer Thursday at Springfield, so perhaps that was a step in the right direction. Walker's role with the Cardinals upon his return is also up in the air, especially with Ivan Herrera (hamstring) returning as a designated hitter, which will likely keep Alec Burleson in the outfield.

Iván Herrera - Working out in outfield Herrera (hamstring) was given pregame reps in the outfield with the Cardinals prior to beginning his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Derrick Goold of the St. Lo...
Impact Herrera's playing time at catcher in the second half will be reduced -- if not outright eliminated -- as the Cardinals look to keep him healthy and also prioritize defense at the position. The 25-year-old will be the team's primary designated hitter down the stretch, but he's being worked out in the outfield "to see what that looks like," per manager Oliver Marmol. Herrera has played 14 games at catcher this season, so he is in danger of losing catcher eligibility heading into 2026, if your league uses a 20-game threshold. He is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list for the first game after the All-Star break.
