Rotoworld Player News

Steven Matz

STL Starting Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Steven Matz will start on Wednesday against the Reds.

Matz made a brief relief appearance on Saturday against the Brewers and will rejoin St. Louis’ rotation in the middle of next week. The 33-year-old lefty has occupied more of a versatile swingman-type role this season, which doesn’t translate to much fantasy value, if at all.
Sonny Gray

STL Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray surrendered three runs in six innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

A bare-minimum quality start for the second straight outing. Gray had his best velocity of the year today, averaging 92.8 mph with his sinker, but he gave up 10 hard-hit balls and seven hits anyway. Gray remained 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA for the season. No one who drafted Gray in early March, before he turned in his bad spring and produced some mildly disturbing injury news at the end of the month, can complain about his performance thus far. For those who drafted just prior to Opening Day, he’s looking like a bargain. He’ll face the Mets next.
Ryan Helsley

STL Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Helsley took a blown save after giving up a two-run homer in the ninth Saturday against the Brewers.

Helsley still got the win when the Cardinals scored in the bottom of the ninth. Before that, he threw 16 pitches and got missed swings on none of them, which is odd for him. Still, his velocity was fine, and unlike in his previous blown save this year, walks were not a problem today. He has a 3.60 ERA through 10 innings.
Ivan Herrera

STL Catcher #48

Ivan Herrera (knee) is aiming to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday.

Herrera caught a bullpen session on Saturday and is aiming to begin a minor league rehab assignment by the end of next week. The 24-year-old backstop was originally expected to miss roughly one month after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee back in early April. It appears there’s a decent shot he’ll rejoin the Cardinals’ lineup at some point in early May.
Brendan Donovan

STL Left Fielder #33

Brendan Donovan went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI on Friday evening as the Cardinals eked out a 3-2 victory over the Brewers in the opener of their three-game set.

Donovan drew a walk off of Chad Patrick to open the fourth inning, advanced to third on a single and scored the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Nolan Gorman. He then delivered a two-out RBI single in the fifth inning that would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. With his two-hit evening, the versatile 28-year-old is now slashing a robust .366/.406/.538 with three homers, 13 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 102 plate appearances on the season.
Lars Nootbaar

STL Right Fielder #21

Lars Nootbaar went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI on Friday night, helping to lead the Cardinals past the Brewers.

Nootbaar smacked a run-scoring single off of Tyler Alexander in the fifth inning that extended the Cardinals’ lead to 2-0 then came around to score on an RBI knock off the bat of Brendan Donovan. He also drew a walk to start the game on Friday, but was picked off of first base. He has done a nice job as a table-setter for the Cardinals this season, slashing .253/.393/.411 with four homers, 15 RBI and three stolen bases.
Ryan Helsley

STL Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Helsley closed out the Brewers on Friday night, working a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a one-run advantage.

Save chances have been few and far between for the Cardinals’ stopper and he didn’t make it easy on himself in this one by allowing a leadoff single to Isaac Collins. He battled right back though to get Vinny Capra to bounce into a double play before retiring Caleb Durbin on a line drive to center to end it. He has now converted four of his first five save opportunities on the season while posting a 2.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 10/8 K/BB ratio over his first nine innings.
Matthew Liberatore

STL Relief Pitcher #52

Matthew Liberatore logged a quality start in Friday night’s victory over the Brewers, allowing just two runs (one earned) on five hits over six-plus strong frames.

Liberatore punched out four opposing hitters in the ballgame and didn’t allow a base on balls. The Brewers got to him for a run in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI single by Christian Yelich, then they scratched out an unearned run while chasing him in the seventh. The 25-year-old hurler got 10 whiffs on 89 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll see if he can keep the good times rolling as he carries a stellar 3.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 28/2 K/BB ratio (31 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Reds in Cincinnati.
Ivan Herrera

STL Catcher #48

Ivan Herrera (knee) hopes to begin a minor league rehab assignment before the end of next week.

When the 24-year-old backstop initially suffered the bone bruise in his left knee, the expectation was that he would miss at least a month’s worth of action. We’re about three weeks out right now, which would seem to put him on track if he is indeed able to return to game action at some point next week. It’s unclear how many games he’ll need to get into before the Cardinals are ready to bring him back though. Those counting on Pedro Páges for everyday at-bats may soon need to look elsewhere.
Alec Burleson

STL Right Fielder #41

Alec Burleson is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s tilt against the Brewers.

It looks to be just a routine night off for Burleson, though it’s odd that it would come after an off-day and while the Cardinals are facing a right-hander. Nolan Gorman will serve as the team’s designated hitter and will bat fifth against the Brewers on Friday night.
