Tyler O'Neill Expected To Return Thursday
1 year agoSt. 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.
