On bench Wednesday O'Neill is out of the lineup Wednesday at Atlanta.

Impact O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base, and two total runs scored in the Cardinals' win over the NL East leaders on Tuesday, but it'll be Lars Nootbaar, Tommy Edman and Jordan Walker starting across the outfield Wednesday versus tough right-hander Spencer Strider. Alec Burleson is filling the DH role.

Big night in Tuesday's win O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

Impact The 28-year-old outfielder put together his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 11, while his second-inning shot off Michael Soroka gave O'Neill homers in back-to-back games, and seven in 28 contests since the beginning of August. Sustained success has been tough for O'Neill to come by in 2023, but a 5-for-12 start to September offers some hope he could be poised for a big final month.

Out of Sunday's lineup O'Neill is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill started the first two games of the series and will receive Sunday off after going 2-for-8 with a double and a three-run homer. Richie Palacios, Lars Nootbaar and Jordan Walker will start from left to right in the outfield for St. Louis.

Swats three-run homer O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday.

Impact O'Neill gave the Cardinals an early lead with a three-run shot in the second inning, but Pittsburgh rallied late to take the win. The long ball the eighth in what has been another injury-plagued season for O'Neill, as he's missed over 70 games due to back and knee issues. The outfielder has largely struggled when he has been able to play, slashing .232/.315/.411 with 19 RBI, 24 runs, four steals and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate over 232 plate appearances.

Returns to lineup O'Neill (knee) is starting in left field and batting sixth Friday against Pittsburgh.

Impact Left knee soreness kept O'Neill from playing Thursday, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's series opener with the Pirates. O'Neill has been having a tough time at the plate recently, going just 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts across his last six games.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with more knee soreness O'Neill is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres due to knee discomfort, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Wednesday O'Neill is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact It looks to be a routine day off for the hulking outfielder. With O'Neill getting a breather, Richie Palacios will patrol left field for the Cardinals.

Notches steal in return O'Neill (knee) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact O'Neill sat out with knee discomfort Sunday, but it was a minor enough issue for him to only miss one game. The outfielder played the full game in left field, which should alleviate concerns about the injury. He's up to four steals on the year while slashing .236/.323/.405 across 60 contests.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Batting second in return O'Neill (knee) will start in left field and bat second in Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact O'Neill will return to the starting nine after he had been scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Phillies with left knee discomfort. The Cardinals' decision to deploy O'Neill in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the club has limited concern about his ability to comfortably play defense or run the bases.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with knee discomfort O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies due to left knee discomfort, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Richie Palacios will instead start in center field and bat eighth as the Cardinals close out their three-game weekend series at Philadelphia. The oft-injured O'Neill is presumably day-to-day.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Wednesday O'Neill is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Impact The Cardinals are going with Alec Burleson in left field as they try to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Pirates. O'Neill went 1-for-7 with a double in the first two games of the series.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.

Impact O'Neill started the first three games of the series and went 4-for-9 with two doubles, a solo homer and three walks, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's finale. Alec Burleson will handle left field while Luken Baker serves as the designated hitter.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks seventh homer O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

Impact O'Neill's hitting has been a bit spotty in August -- he's batting .182 over 14 games this month, but five of his eight hits in that span have been homers. The outfielder gave the Cardinals a seventh-inning spark in Thursday's loss. For the season, he's at a .235/.316/.406 slash line, seven homers, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases over 51 contests. He's still seeing a starting role in left field, though he could also work in tandem with Tommy Edman to cover center field while Lars Nootbaar (abdomen) and Dylan Carlson (oblique) are on the injured list.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench Wednesday O'Neill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill's streak of five consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as Alec Burleson replaces him in the left field. After slashing .306/.404/.571 in his first 14 games upon returning from the 60-day injured list July 20, O'Neill has fallen into a 3-for-24 rut at the plate over his subsequent eight games.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs third steal O'Neill went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

Impact O'Neill's steal was his second since coming off the injured list in July, and his third of the season in as many attempts. The outfielder also logged his third multi-walk game of the season. He's scuffling a bit in August, batting .176 (6-for-34) with five walks over 11 contests this month. The slump has him down to a .238/.318/.400 slash line with six home runs, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored and eight doubles over 48 games this season.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard Friday O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-8 loss to the Royals.

Impact O'Neill contributed a fifth-inning homer to the Cardinals' failed comeback effort. After battling knee tightness earlier in the week, he's been in the lineup in left field for two straight games, and it's encouraging he played the full game Friday despite the early lopsided score. The outfielder is slashing .247/.318/.416 with six homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases over 170 plate appearances this season.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Thursday O'Neill (knee) is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Rays.

Impact O'Neill has been scratched the last two nights due to left knee tightness, but it looks like he'll be good to go in Thursday's series finale. The 28-year-old is covering left field and bating fifth for the Cardinals against the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Thursday Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said O'Neill (knee) could return to action Thursday versus the Rays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday due to left knee tightness, but it doesn't seem to be a serious concern. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed .283/.387/.528 in 62 plate appearances since he returned July 20 from a multi-month absence for a back injury.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched again with tight knee O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Rays due to lingering left knee tightness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the second time in as many days that O'Neill has been scratched before first pitch. Alec Burleson will now start in left field and bat seventh as the Cardinals take on the Rays and left-hander Jalen Beeks.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Wednesday O'Neill (knee) is starting in left field and batting sixth in his return to the lineup Wednesday in Tampa Bay.

Impact O'Neill was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup because of left knee tightness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go a day later. The 28-year-old is batting .283/.387/.528 with three home runs in 15 games since returning from the injured list.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling knee tightness O'Neill was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Tampa Bay due to left knee tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Despite participating in batting practice ahead of Tuesday's game, O'Neill's knee will keep him from playing against the Rays. He's officially listed as day-to-day, so his injury likely isn't severe, and he'll be replaced in the lineup by Alec Burleson.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup O'Neill was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Rays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear why O'Neill was removed from the Cardinals' lineup, but it's possible he tweaked something during batting practice before the game. The team should provide more information shortly. Meanwhile, Lars Nootbaar will move into left field for O'Neill, and Alec Burleson will enter as St. Louis' designated hitter.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Launches homer in win O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact O'Neill opened the scoring in the second inning, and the Cardinals never trailed in the game. This was his third homer in the last four games, and he's hit safely in eight straight, batting .367 (11-for-30) in the longer span. He continues to thrive in a starting role in left field since returning from a back injury. O'Neill is now at a .255/.327/.418 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases through 43 contests overall.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Thursday O'Neill is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Twins.

Impact Lars Nootbaar, Dylan Carlson and Jordan Walker are starting across the outfield as Alec Burleson takes at designated hitter. O'Neill homered both Tuesday and Wednesday, but the Cardinals did not break up their crowded outfield depth chart at the trade deadline and so there is going to continue to be a rotation of sorts down the stretch.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in Wednesday's win O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact O'Neill has homered in back-to-back contests. He's hit safely in 10 of 12 games since he returned from a back injury, going 13-for-42 (.310) in that span while seeing a starting role in left field. The Cardinals were sellers at the trade deadline, but they didn't part with any of their outfielders, so playing time will likely continue to be competitive. O'Neill is up to a .254/.324/.403 slash line with four homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases through 41 games this year.
