Paul Goldschmidt

STL First Baseman #46

Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a double and a RBI in a 2-1 win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Goldschmidt was the hero in this one as his eighth inning double broke a longstanding 1-1 tie and delivered the Cardinals an important victory as they try to stay afloat in the Wild Card race. While Goldschmidt’s season hasn’t been good, he’s oddly shown some signs of life as it’s winding down. He had four hard-hit balls in this game and hit three over 100 MPH. That’s the second time this month he’s had a game with three balls in play hit at least 100 MPH after only doing so once since the beginning of July.
Ryan Helsley

STL Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Helsley pitched a clean inning with a strikeout to earn a save on Wednesday against the Reds.

Helsley makes it look so easy. He threw just eight pitches – seven fastballs – en route to his league-leading 44th save which tied Emmanuel Clase, who saved his 44th game earlier on Wednesday. Helsley hasn’t given up an earned run in over a month in what’s been an outstanding season.
Lance Lynn

STL Starting Pitcher #31

Lance Lynn allowed five hits and one run over five innings in a no-decision on Wednesday against the Reds.

Lynn is such a throwback. He just says, “here’s my fastball, try and hit it” every time he’s on the mound. He probably adds some more colorful language to that hypothetical, but you get the idea. 90% of his pitches in this game were either his four-seam fastball – which led the way with 63% usage – two-seamer, or sinker and the Reds managed just three hard-hit balls off those three offerings. He’s scheduled to face the Pirates in his next start.
Chris Roycroft

STL Relief Pitcher #58

Cardinals optioned RHP Chris Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis.

Roycroft is the casualty on the roster for Lance Lynn with Lynn coming off the injured list with knee inflammation The 27-year-old has made a few trips between St. Louis and Memphis, and he could be back before the campaign ends.
Lance Lynn

STL Starting Pitcher #31

Cardinals activated RHP Lance Lynn off the 15-day injured list.

Lynn will be making his first start since the end of July, as the 37-year-old has been on the injured list with knee inflammation. He’s a risky option in his first outing back, and there’s probably a better streaming option for Wednesday’s slate.
Nolan Gorman

STL Second Baseman #16

Nolan Gorman went 3-for-5 and hit a pair of homers for Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Hours after the Cardinals bypassed him and called up Thomas Saggese to help their infield. Of course, it was hard to blame them, since even though Gorman did have four homers in his first 15 games for Memphis, they came with a .200 average and a .274 OBP. He still might rejoin the Cardinals before the end of the season.
Andre Pallante

STL Relief Pitcher #53

Andre Pallante allowed three runs with six strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Reds on Tuesday.

Pallante got off to a good start, holding the Reds scoreless through four innings before Cincinnati brought three runs in score in the fifth on two walks, two hits, and a groundout. The 25-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.13 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 77/45 K/BB ratio across 102 1/3 innings. Pallante may move back into the bullpen with Lance Lynn (knee) returning on Wednesday.
Brendan Donovan

STL Left Fielder #33

Brendan Donovan (foot) is leading off and playing second base Tuesday against the the Reds.

Donovan has been out of action for the last few games while he deals with a foot infection. The 27-year-old may need to have some maintenance days as the season comes to a close, but he’s feeling well enough to hit at the top spot against Rhett Lowder and Cincinnati.
Victor Scott II

STL Center Fielder #11

Cardinals optioned OF Victor Scott II to Triple-A Memphis.

The move creates room on the roster for Thomas Saggese, with Saggese having his contract selected in a corresponding transaction. Scott II has registered just a .478 OPS with a .164 average in his time in the majors with a 42/6 K/BB. He has some long-term appeal because of his incredible speed, but there’s a lot that needs to get better for him to be a fantasy option.
Thomas Saggese

STL Second Baseman

Cardinals selected the contract of INF Thomas Saggese.

Saggese will not only get the call, but he’ll hit seventh and start at shortstop in his MLB debut. The 22-year-old put up mixed numbers while with Memphis, but he’s been excellent with the bat since July, and he offers some power as a middle-infielder with enough speed to steal a bag or 10. He’s worth a speculative add to fantasy rosters this late in the year.
