Impact O'Neill was placed on the injured list Friday with a lower back strain. The outfielder has hit just ..228/.283/.337 over 99 plate appearances in 2023, but he'll have a chance to improve on those numbers in the middle of May if he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Goes on IL with back strain O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a lower back strain, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Juan Yepez will join the Cardinals in a corresponding move to provide depth in the corner outfield. O'Neill, who's dealt with a range of different injuries throughout his pro career, was slashing just .228/.283/.337 with two home runs and one stolen base through 29 games (99 plate appearances) this season. He figures to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the active roster. There's no real timetable yet.

On bench Wednesday O'Neill isn't in the lineup Wednesday versus the Angels.

Impact O'Neill takes a seat after going 1-for-9 with six strikeouts over his last three games. Lars Nootbar is playing right field Wednesday, and O'Neill figures to re-enter the lineup Thursday afternoon for the series finale.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact O'Neill went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts Saturday after being scratched from Friday's lineup with back tightness, and he'll head back to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Alec Burleson, Dylan Carlson and Lars Nootbaar will start from left to right in the outfield.

Back in action against Kershaw O'Neill (back) is starting in left field and batting sixth Saturday against the Dodgers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact He was scratched from Friday's lineup with back tightness, but it's apparently a minor issue, as he is right back in for the matchup against Clayton Kershaw. O'Neill is hitting .258 with zero home runs and zero steals in his last 10 games.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with back tightness O'Neill was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Dodgers with back tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact O'Neill was originally in the starting lineup for the Cardinals, but will take a seat while recovering. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day while Dylan Carlson gets the start in center in his place.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch from lineup O'Neill was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Impact No reason was given for why O'Neill was scratched from the lineup. Lars Nootbar moves over to right field and Dylan Carlson will play center field and hit ninth.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday O'Neill is out of the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Impact Alec Burleson is in left field, Dylan Carlson is in center field and Lars Nootbaar is in right. Jordan Walker is on the bench along with O'Neill. Something has to break soon with crowd of outfielders on the Cardinals' roster.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against Mariners O'Neill is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mariners.

Impact O'Neill will not get a chance to face his former club in the opener against the Mariners on Friday. Lars Nootbaar is starting in center and hitting sevenh, while Alec Burleson again starts in left with Jordan Walker lined up in right.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup O'Neill is starting in left field and batting sixth for the Cardinals on Monday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact O'Neill was on the bench for each of the previous two games after Lars Nootbaar's return from the injured list, but he'll play left in this one while Nootbaar handles center. Interestingly, O'Neill has been in left field for each of his last two starts after his first 10 starts all came in center field.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Sunday O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact It's the second straight game on the bench for the 27-year-old, who has gone 4-for-17 with a home run, two RBI and eight strikeouts over his past four contests. Lars Nootbaar returned from the injured list Saturday and is starting in center field in Sunday's series finale, and it appears O'Neill is poised for a reduced workload given the Cardinals' plethora of outfield options.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Saturday O'Neill is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates.

Impact There is now an overflow of outfielders in St. Louis with the return of Lars Nootbaar (thumb), and both O'Neill and Dylan Carlson are sitting Saturday. Nootbaar will play center field and bat seventh in his return from the IL. Alec Burleson is in left and Jordan Walker is in right.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homer, steal in win O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact The homer was O'Neill's first since Opening Day, and the steal was his first of the season. This was the outfielder's third multi-hit effort. He's slashing a respectable .282/.317/.436 with two homers, four RBI and five runs scored through 41 plate appearances. Despite an early spat with manager Oliver Marmol over effort level, O'Neill appears to be back in his expected role as the starting center fielder, though Dylan Carlson (neck) could threaten his playing time once healthy.

Out of lineup again Tuesday O'Neill remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Colorado.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Monday's lineup O'Neill is not in the Cardinals' lineup for Monday's game in Colorado.

Impact Dylan Carlson will get the start in center field. O'Neill is off to a bit of a slow start this season, although he did reach base twice on Saturday and Sunday. He should return to the lineup Tuesday.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Friday O'Neill is starting in center field and batting sixth for the Cardinals in Friday's game versus the Brewers.

Impact O'Neill was publicly called out by manager Oli Marmol over what the skipper felt was a lack of hustle during Tuesday's game versus the Braves and then didn't start Wednesday's contest (although he did pinch-hit). However, he's back in there Friday following Thursday's off day. O'Neill has three home runs in 15 career at-bats versus Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff.

Spat with manager O'Neill's absence from the lineup Wednesday came after manager Oliver Marmol was critical of the outfielder's baserunning in Tuesday's game, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dis...

Impact O'Neill was thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday night and the skipper clearly did not like the effort on the play. O'Neill pushed back on the idea that he was not giving it his full effort. This is not what fans or fantasy managers want to see this early on in the season, and while this could blow over quickly, Marmol would not commit to O'Neill being back in the lineup Friday, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Dylan Carlson got the nod in center field Wednesday.
