Tyler O'Neill Benched For Disciplinary Reasons
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is being benched on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves for disciplinary reasons after manager Oliver Marmol thought O'Neill wasn't running the bases hard on Tuesday. Marmol also declined to answer whether O'Neill would be back in the starting lineup on Friday after Thursday's off day. Dylan Carlson is starting in center field on Wednesday and is hitting sixth against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. It's a situation worth watching for those that roster O'Neill, but we suspect he'll return at some point this weekend. The 27-year-old is off to a solid start in five games, hitting .294 (5-for-17) with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in 18 plate appearances.
