Oscar Taveras (ankle) is expected to return to action at Triple-A Memphis by the middle of this week.

Taveras injured his ankle last Sunday while attempting to steal second base. X-rays showed no structural damage, but the Cardinals have been playing it safe with their top prospect. Taveras, 20, was batting .317 with an .831 OPS through his first 31 games this season for the Memphis Rebirds. He should reach the major league level at some point in 2013.

Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes that the Cardinals "aren't going to trade outfield prospect Oscar Taveras to Texas" for Jurickson Profar.

Swapping the top prospects would make some sense for each organization because the Cardinals need a shortstop and the Rangers could soon use a power-hitting outfielder. But there's no momentum toward a deal at this time. We can't say for certain whether the Rangers and Cardinals have even had a discussion about it.

Cardinals optioned OF Oscar Taveras to Triple-A Memphis.

Taveras batted .289 with two homers, 10 RBI and two steals during Grapefruit League play and is major league-ready now, but there's just no room to play him. However, with an injury-prone Carlos Beltran in right field, he could be a regular at some point this season.

Oscar Taveras singled four times in five at-bats against the Twins on Monday.

Taveras started the spring as a big deal, only to get passed by Jackie Bradley Jr., Christian Yelich and Yasiel Puig on the hype chart. Taveras, though, is still the best prospect of the bunch. He pushed his average back up to .309 today.

Oscar Taveras had a two-run homer and a double in three at-bats Wednesday in the Cardinals' 7-2 defeat of the Marlins.

Making a very strong impression, Taveras has two homers, two doubles and eight RBI in 27 at-bats for the Cardinals this spring. It's hard to see how the Cardinals would fit him on the roster if the rest of their outfielders are healthy, but he's demonstrating that he could be a major force once he gets his chance.
