St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is hopeful that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment early next week.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quad) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Orlando Arcia will be his replacement during Wednesday's contest. […]

Jeff McNeil Avoids Serious Injury

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (knee) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
