Tyler O'Neill Not Ready For Rehab Assignment
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) hasn't progressed enough with his baseball activities in order to be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals aren't rushing the 27-year-old back and will slow play things a little longer. O'Neill is currently on the injured list with a lower-back strain, and he hasn't played since May 4. Along with the injury, it's been a disappointing season so far for O'Neill's fantasy managers, as he's hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 99 plate appearances and 29 games. O'Neill's power/speed combination has left a lot to be desired the last two years, and injuries haven't helped.
