Tyler O'Neill Returns For Wednesday's Game
1 year agoSt. 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.
