Willson Contreras

STL Catcher #40

Willson Contreras went 2-for-4 and blasted his 12th home run of the season on Thursday, propelling the Cardinals to an 8-1 victory over the visiting Nationals.

Contreras sparked a five-run uprising with a leadoff single in the sixth inning and ultimately scored on an RBI single off the bat of Nolan Arenado. He then capped off the Cardinals’ scoring with a 406-foot (104.7 mph EV) blast off of Jackson Rutledge in the seventh inning that made it an 8-0 ballgame. On the season, the 33-year-old slugger is now hitting .254/.343/.430 with the aforementioned 12 homers and 52 RBI.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI as the Cardinals walloped the Nationals on Thursday.

The 23-year-old shortstop plated Victor Scott II with a run-scoring double in the sixth inning that extended the Cardinals’ lead to 7-0. He has done a nice job at the dish for the Cardinals this season, slashing .263/.324/.391 with seven homers, 32 RBI and four stolen bases.
Brendan Donovan

STL Left Fielder #33

Brendan Donovan went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored as the Cardinals triumphed over the Nationals on Thursday evening in St. Louis.

Donovan led off the home half of the first inning with a single and scored the Cardinals’ first run on a bounce out off the bat of Alec Burleson. He also led off the third inning with a single and was once again driven in by Burleson — that time on an RBI single. With his two-hit attack, the versatile 28-year-old is now hitting .296/.367/.435 with eight homers, 35 RBI and three swipes on the season.
Miles Mikolas

STL Starting Pitcher #39

Miles Mikolas bounced back in impressive fashion on Thursday, hurling 5 2/3 innings of shutout baseball in a victory over the Nationals.

Mikolas scattered two hits and one walk on the evening while racking up six strikeouts. After serving up six home runs against the Cubs his last time out, the Nationals only had one extra-base hit against him in this one — a leadoff double by CJ Abrams. The 36-year-old hurler got 12 whiffs on just 71 pitches on the evening, registering a solid CSW of 32 percent. He finishes the first half with an underwhelming 5-6 record, 4.94 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a 66/21 K/BB ratio over 93 innings in his 18 starts.
Erick Fedde

STL Starting Pitcher #12

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told reporters on Thursday that Erick Fedde will make another start on Saturday against the Braves.

Fedde has been hit extremely hard in each of his last two starts, but he’ll be given at least one more shot in the rotation to see if he can get back on track. Marmol admitted that there could be other reasons for the team wanting to keep him in the rotation, as Fedde was supposed to be a trade chip before the deadline prior to his recent struggles.
Ivan Herrera

STL Catcher #48

Iván Herrera (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

It sounds like the hard-hitting 25-year-old backstop will remain there at least through the weekend and be ready to join the Cardinals coming out of next week’s All-Star break. Herrera was given a timeline of two-to-six weeks when he landed on the injured list on June 20, so it seems like that timetable tracks. His return will likely push Pedro Pages back into a reserve role while costing Yohel Pozo his spot on the active roster.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn went 3-for-4 with a double and a RBI on Wednesday against the Nationals.

Winn’s Cardinals could not get anything going against MacKenzie Gore in this one. He had a late single to score a run against reliever Cole Henry in what was otherwise a lackluster game for their lineup. His double earlier in the game was more of a cue shot that he only hit 56.5 mph off the bat. It was also just his third extra-base hit over the last two weeks as he’s been trapped in a bit of a power outage.
Andre Pallante

STL Relief Pitcher #53

Andre Pallante allowed eight hits and seven runs over six innings in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

He added just two strikeouts. Pallante got off to a bad start when Nathaniel Lowe took him deep for a three-run home run in the first inning. Pallante threw him one of the fattest hanging curveballs a pitcher could ever throw and Lowe smoked it. Then, he gave up three more in the fourth and another in the fifth. This was only the second time since May 10 where Pallante let in more than three runs.
Nolan Arenado

STL 3rd Baseman #28

Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is hitting fifth and playing third base against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Arenado missed three games while dealing with a right shoulder impingement. There’s a chance he could see some maintenance games between now and the All-Star break, but for now, he’s feeling well enough to play and that’s obviously a positive development. Nolan Gorman gets a breather with Arenado back in the fold.
Brendan Donovan

STL Left Fielder #33

Brendan Donovan went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in the Cardinals’ 4-2 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Donovan drew a walk in the first inning, then put the Cardinals on the board with a two-run homer in the third. Four of his seven homers have come over the last two weeks. The versatile 28-year-old is hitting .296/.368/.438 with 48 runs scored and 34 RBI across 365 plate appearances.
