Tyler O'Neill - Page 13 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Clubs third homer O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact The outfielder gave St. Louis a bit of hope in the ninth inning by homering off Minnesota closer Jhoan Duran, but he got no help from his teammates. It's O'Neill's third home run of the year and first in 11 games since returning from his latest IL stint, but the 28-year-old has been productive over that stretch by slashing .316/.422/.500 with four doubles, a steal, five runs and five RBI.

Adds three hits Thursday O'Neill went 3-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 10-3 loss against the Cubs.

Impact Since returning from a two-month IL stint on July 20, O'Neill's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with four doubles and a .936 OPS. The 28-year-old outfielder has just two home runs this year, though he's maintained a regular starting role in the middle of St. Louis' lineup. After a slow start to the year, O'Neill is now slashing .252/.326/.370 with 16 runs scored and nine RBI across 132 plate appearances this season.

Not in starting nine O'Neill isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Neill is 3-for-13 with a double, a stolen base and five runs scored in four games since returning from the 60-day injured list. He'll get the night off, allowing Dylan Carlson to draw the start in center field while Lars Nootbaar shifts to left.

On base three times in return O'Neill went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact O'Neill made his return from a stint on the 60-day injured list due to a back injury. He played the full game in left field, which is expected to be his short-term spot in the lineup as he gets back up to speed. Through 30 games this season, he has a .234/.301/.351 slash line with two home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and 13 runs scored. He's also striking out at a 33 percent rate -- he has some work to do with plate discipline.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated off 60-day IL St. Louis activated O'Neill (back) from the 60-day injured list Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has been out since early May due to a lingering back injury and mostly struggled offensively on his latest minor-league rehab assignment, but he'll return as the Cardinals' primary left fielder, possibly so that he can be showcased to other teams ahead of the August 1 trade deadline. Dylan Carlson is expected to take a backseat for now in the Cards' outfield mix.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be activated Thursday O'Neill (back) will be reinstated from the injured list Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill was originally expected back from the IL on Monday, but the Cardinals are deciding to hold off on activating him until after Wednesday's bullpen game. O'Neill has slashed .231/.355/.269 across 31 plate appearances during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis, and he projects to see regular playing time in St. Louis' outfield upon his return.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on IL, for now O'Neill (back) won't be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, but he's hopeful to be reinstated prior to Tuesday's game against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports...

Impact Though the Cardinals opened up a spot on the 40-man roster earlier Monday by designating reliever Genesis Cabrera for assignment, O'Neill won't immediately fill the opening. O'Neill's delayed activation isn't the result of a setback in his recovery from the back issue that has kept him out since early May, however, as he rejoined the big club in St. Louis following an eight-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis. Assuming O'Neill is back in the fold Tuesday, he could be headed for a near-everyday role in the outfield while Tommy Edman (wrist) is on the shelf.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from 60-day IL O'Neill (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact He will not, however, be in the Cardinals' lineup in his first game back from the IL. O'Neill has been sidelined since early May due to lingering back issues but is finally ready to go after an eight-game rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis. While he would figure to be in the lineup plenty often, O'Neill wouldn't seem to be a lock for everyday playing time in the Cards' crowded outfield.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return next week O'Neill (back) could come off the injured list next week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact He is going to play seven innings in the field for Triple-A Memphis on Friday before slotting in at designated hitter Saturday and then returning to the field Sunday, at which point the team will evaluate his status. With Tommy Edman (wrist) on the shelf, there could be steady at-bats available to O'Neill once he is activated.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles in rehab game O'Neill (back) went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout in his second rehab game Wednesday with Triple-A Memphis, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his rehab debut Tuesday, so Wednesday's stat line qualifies as an improvement. He's been serving only as Memphis' designated hitter thus far and will likely have to prove his health with some outfield action before the Cardinals consider activating him from the 60-day injured list. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since early May due to lingering back issues.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Tuesday O'Neill (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill will serve as Memphis' designated hitter Tuesday before eventually playing the outfield, provided he passes a variety of stress tests. The outfielder has been on the shelf since early May with a lingering back injury but finally began experiencing improvement following a pair of injections last month. O'Neill could return shortly after the All-Star break if all goes well.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment O'Neill (back) said Tuesday that he's aiming to begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact O'Neill has finally turned the corner in his recovery from a lingering back injury and is now doing the full range of baseball activities. Assuming all continues to go well with his side work and there are no setbacks on the farm, the 28-year-old outfielder should be able to return to the Cardinals before the All-Star break. He's been on the shelf since early May.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play catch O'Neill (back) was cleared to play catch Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has also been able to do light agility and running drills as he tries to finally get over the hump in his recovery from a lingering back injury. He went on the 10-day injured list May 5 and was transferred Friday to the 60-day injured list. The best-case target for his return to the Cardinals is early July.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shifted to 60-day IL The Cardinals transferred O'Neill (back) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill landed on the injured list May 5, so his move to the 60-day IL will keep him out until at least July 4. His 40-man roster spot will be filled by Richie Palacios, who was acquired from Cleveland in a trade Friday.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Finally making progress with back O'Neill said Sunday that he sees "the light at the end of the tunnel" in his recovery from the lower back strain that has kept him on the injured list since early May, John Denton...

Impact According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, O'Neill is scheduled to be re-evaluated Thursday, at which time he could be cleared for baseball activities if his physician, Dr. Robert Watkins, is satisfied with how the outfielder has responded to the two injections he received June 1 to address his ailing back. O'Neill seems to have responded well to core-strengthening work over the past week and a half and noted that he's pain-free for the first time in months, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Given the length of his layoff from game action, O'Neill will probably need at least a handful of minor-league rehab contests to get his timing back at the plate, so still may not be cleared to return from the 10-day injured list until late June in a best-case scenario.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down 10 more days Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that O'Neill (back) will be shut down for the next 10 days, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has been in a stall with his recovery from a lingering lower back injury and further testing conducted this week offered "no new findings," per Marmol. The 27-year-old outfielder initially went on the injured list May 5 and can now probably be ruled out until at least late June.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab 'at a standstill' Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that the organization is "at a standstill" with O'Neill's (back) recovery, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has had to be shut down on three different occasions due to continued lower-back pain. He tried hitting off a tee about a week ago but has halted activities since then because his back didn't respond. The outfielder should be considered out indefinitely as he and the Cards determine the next course of action.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes light swings O'Neill (back) took light swings off a tee Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has finally resumed some level of baseball-related activity following a shutdown period that lasted nearly three weeks. He still has a lot of hurdles to clear, but the 27-year-old outfielder might be ready to rejoin the Cardinals sometime in early June if all goes well within his ramp-up into more intense workouts. O'Neill landed on the injured list May 5 because of a lower back strain.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready for activity O'Neill (back) did not resume baseball activities Monday as hoped, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill is still being bothered by discomfort in his lower back nearly three weeks after he originally landed on the injured list. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol acknowledged Tuesday that it's unclear where the 27-year-old outfielder stands with the injury. There is obviously no timetable for his return to the active roster at this point, and early June might now be the best-case scenario.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to resume activity Monday O'Neill (back) could resume baseball activities Monday and be ready to a rehab assignment late next week, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill has been out for over two weeks with a strained lower back. He had been scheduled to begin a rehab stint Thursday, but the assignment got called off as his back issues persisted. The team hopes he can get back on track at the start of next week, though that's not yet guaranteed. The longer he's out, the longer rehab assignment he'll need to get back in game shape.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Meeting with team doctors O'Neill (back) is scheduled to meet with the Cardinals' medical staff Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Neill was on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he continues to be bothered by discomfort stemming from the lower-back strain he suffered in early May. Maybe the checkup with team doctors will yield a better idea on a timetable for his return.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for rehab games O'Neill (back) will no longer begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact O'Neill had been slated to join up with one of the Cardinals' minor-league affiliates in the coming days, but manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Wednesday that the 27-year-old outfielder is not progressing as quickly as hoped in his recovery from a lower back strain. There is no longer a clear timetable for his return to the active roster in St. Louis. O'Neill has been on the IL since May 5.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Thursday O'Neill (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals had identified Tuesday as the soonest O'Neill could begin playing rehab games, but it will be a couple days after that. It would seem to set him up for a possible return early next week as the team begins a road trip, although that hasn't been definitively stated. O'Neill has missed the last week-and-a-half of action with a lower-back strain.
