St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in left field and will hit second for the Red Birds on Monday against the visiting San Diego Padres and left-hander Blake Snell. The oft-injured O'Neill was scratched from the lineup for the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday with left-knee discomfort, but he's back in there a day later. The power/speed threat continues to disappoint fantasy managers that invested in him before the season, as he's hitting .240/.324/.411 with seven home runs, 12 doubles, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 23 runs in only 59 games played in 2023. Although he does have five home runs in 20 games (17 starts) in August, he's gone just 14-for-66 (.212) at the plate with 16 strikeouts in 76 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to left-knee discomfort. Richie Palacios is taking his spot in center field and will hit eighth in the order against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. It's yet another injury for the oft-injured O'Neill, but for now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. It's been another disappointing campaign in 2023 for the 28-year-old Canadian. He's played in only 59 games due to injuries and is currently hitting .240 (46-for-192) with seven home runs, 12 doubles, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 23 runs scored. Since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list on July 20, O'Neill has gone 25-for-100 (.250) with five homers, eight doubles, 10 RBI, two steals and 11 runs scored in 30 games (26 starts).

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday after being scratched from the lineup the last two days with left-knee tightness. He is starting in left field and batting fifth against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zack Littell. Despite another disappointing campaign in 2023 due to an extended stay on the injured list with a back injury, O'Neill has fantasy appeal down the stretch due to his power/speed combination as a regular in St. Louis' outfield. Since returning from his back injury on July 20, O'Neill has gone 15-for-53 (.283) with three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in 15 games (14 starts). The 28-year-old Canadian is two years removed from hitting 34 home runs, driving in 80 and stealing 15 bases in 138 games.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the team wanted to give outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) one more day of inactivity on Wednesday while he deals with left-knee tightness. The belief is that O'Neill will be in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old outfielder remains day-to-day after being scratched from the lineup each of the last two days. O'Neill has been swinging the bat much better since he returned from a back injury on July 20, but overall he has been a fantasy bust as a power/speed threat in the Cardinals lineup. The Canadian is currently batting .248 (36-for-145) with only five home runs, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored in 44 games. With better health down the stretch, hopefully O'Neill can finish the 2023 season strong.

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day due to left-knee tightness. Alec Burleson will now man left field and bat seventh in the order against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill's disappointing 2023 campaign continues, and don't be surprised if his knee injury lands him back on the injured list at some point. The 28-year-old outfielder has been better since returning from an IL stint at the end of July, but overall he's been a massive disappointment for the struggling Cardinals. O'Neill has played in only 44 games (161 plate appearances) and is hitting .248 (36-for-145) with five homers, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting in left field and batting sixth against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill will return after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left-knee tightness. The 28-year-old Canadian has had another disappointing year after clubbing a career-high 34 home runs and driving in 80 in 2021. He's played in just 44 games in 2023 due to injuries and is hitting .248/.323/.407 with five home runs, eight doubles, 13 RBI and 19 runs scored in 161 plate appearances. The good news is that he's played better since returning from the injured list on July 20, going 15-for-53 (.283) with three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, one steal and seven runs scored in 15 games (14 starts). When healthy, O'Neill will be a lineup regular for St. Louis.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with left-knee tightness. O'Neill was able to take batting practice and tracked fly balls in the outfield before the game, but he was scratched from the lineup. He's listed as day-to-day for now. In his absence, Alec Burleson will move into the lineup and bat sixth versus right-hander Zach Eflin.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill had a big day with the stick on Thursday, collecting three hits in three at-bats, with a double and a walk. The game brought the 28-year-old's slash line to .252/.326/.370, while he also has just two home runs, 16 runs, nine RBI, and a pair of steals across 37 games. O'Neill will likely stay put at the deadline amid another disappointing season, so fantasy managers can expect him to continue to get everyday reps in left. Hopefully, Thursday was a sign that the Canadian native is heating up and can produce as he did during his 2021 campaign, in which he went deep 34 times and swiped 15 bags.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the team's lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. O'Neill was reinstated from the injured list last week and started four straight games spanning from Thursday to Sunday, so the team is likely looking to give him a day of rest. The Cards will have Lars Nootbaar in the outfield in place of O'Neill, who is likely to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. O'Neill is hitting .229 with two homers, 15 runs, and six RBI in 26 games in 2023.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Thursday, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals are considering sending down a pitcher to make room for O'Neill on the active roster, but they want to wait until after Wednesday's bullpen game to do so. The 28-year-old has really struggled the last two seasons for the Cardinals and has been held back by injuries, but his power/speed combination in an everyday role for the Red Birds makes him worth rostering in most mixed leagues now that he's on the verge of a return to the big leagues. O'Neill hit just .228/.283/.337 with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in his first 29 games this year before injuring his back.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back), who the team is activating from the injured list on Tuesday, has a chance to be dealt at the deadline, according to Derrick Goold of MLB.com. The 28-year-old hasn't played much this season and is slashing just .228/.283/.337 with two homers, one steal, 12 runs, and six RBI over 29 games. However, it's his 2021 season, in which O'Neill went deep 34 times and stole 15 bases, that might make him attractive to other clubs. If he is traded, he'll be out of the Cardinal's crowded outfield mix and should receive everyday playing time.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-handed slugger has been sidelined since the first week of May due to lingering back issues. O'Neill went through a full workout with the team on Monday, but that is all he's going to do. The Cardinals are going to wait until Tuesday to officially activate him. That being said, fantasy managers will be without O'Neill for at least one more game.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is aiming to be activated on Monday. He's currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and will serve as the designated hitter on Saturday before playing in the field on Sunday. If all goes well, the 28-year-old may return to the big club for the series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins. Unfortunately, O'Neill has struggled this season, so few fantasy managers are eager to see him make his way back. However, he's still worth monitoring moving ahead, especially if he starts to get hot.

O'Neill has hit just .228 (21-for-92) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games due to injury this year for the Cardinals, but he figures to see regular playing time in St. Louis' outfield when he does finally make it back. The 28-year-old has been a huge disappointment the last two years, but his power/speed combination remains intriguing. O'Neill is rostered in only 43 percent of Yahoo leagues right now.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis. O'Neill will serve as the designated hitter on Tuesday and eventually return to the outfield after passing a variety of stress tests. The Cardinals aren't going to rush him back since he's been out since early May with a back injury, so don't be surprised if he doesn't come off the injured list until after next week's All-Star break. The 28-year-old was hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with two homers, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games before his injury, but he'll be an everyday player for the Red Birds when he returns and has an intriguing power/speed profile. O'Neill is only rostered in 44% of Yahoo leagues right now, so consider grabbing him now if he's available in your league and you need outfield help.

O'Neill was struggling before the ailment, slashing .228/.283/.337 with two homers, 12 runs, six RBI, and one steal over 29 games. There's still no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will need to stay patient and continue to stash the power-speed threat in most formats. Hopefully, O'Neill can return closer to the player who went deep 34 times and stole 15 bags in 2021.

Palacios was optioned to Triple-A Memphis. O'Neill initially went on the injured list on May 5, and now he'll be out until at least July 4. The 27-year-old Canadian outfielder was a disappointment before his injury, hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with four doubles, two home runs and six RBI in 29 games played.
