Donovan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and two runs scored in a 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan helped the Cardinals get to innings-eater Alec Mills early and often. He hit his first career triple in the bottom of the first before coming in to score a run on a Nolan Arenado single. He then led off the third with the first of three Cardinals solo home runs in the inning. The rookie left-handed bat has bounced around the Cardinals lineup so far this year, but with an elite .426 OBP it wouldn't be a surprise to see him continue to hit out of the two-hole like he did Sunday.

Donovan went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a walk in a 5-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan demonstrated good situational hitting by singling to shallow left with two men in scoring position to give his team an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old rookie has showed excellent plate skills since being called up to the big leagues, and he is now hitting .311 with a .422 on-base percentage. Donovan's 146 WRC+ and ability to play both infield and outfield positions should keep him seeing regular at-bats.

Donovan isn't starting Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan will get a day off after he went 3-for-18 with three runs, two walks and seven strikeouts over the last four games. Nolan Gorman is starting at second base while Albert Pujols enters the lineup at first.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan was at the center of the Cardinals' fifth-inning rally, hitting a two-run double and scoring on a fielder's choice to tie the game at 4-4. The versatile rookie has gone 13-for-21 (.619) in his last five games, and it's that kind of hitting that has forced manager Oli Marmol's hand in finding a place for Donovan in the lineup on a near-daily basis. The 25-year-old is up to a .341/.448/.465 slash line with one home run, two stolen bases, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored and 13 doubles through 153 plate appearances.

Donovan went 5-for-9 with a walk, a double, an RBI and four runs scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old hit leadoff and started in right field in the matinee, reaching base twice and scoring the Cardinals' first run in a 3-1 win, before shifting to third base in the nightcap and erupting for four hits and three runs out of the two hole in a 9-1 rout. Donovan has piled up 10 hits in the last four games, boosting his slash line in June to a stunning .382/.452/.491 through 14 contests.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan sparked the Cardinals' sixth-inning rally with a two-run double before scoring on a Dylan Carlson game-tying home run. Through 12 games in June, Donovan has stayed hot, going 16-for-46 (.348) with five doubles and eight RBI. The rookie utility man is up to a .310/.424/.431 slash line with a homer, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases in 41 contests this year. His versatility on defense and hot bat should allow him to continue pushing for consistent playing time even with only Corey Dickerson (calf) unavailable among the Cardinals' regular position players.

Donovan will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson from the injured list leave Donovan without an everyday job in the outfield, but the 25-year-old has been able to maintain steady playing time while moving into more of a super-utility role. With Nolan Arenado handling designated-hitter duties Monday, Donovan will fill in at third base for what will be his fifth start in the last six games.

Donovan is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan will get a breather after going 1-for-8 in the first two contests of the series. Juan Yepez will draw the start in right field and bat sixth Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After going 1-for-3 with a walk in a 6-1 loss during the matinee, Donovan swung the biggest stick for the Cards in the nightcap, with his second two-run double of the game coming in the 10th inning. The 25-year-old continues to play nearly every day in a super-utility role, slashing .315/.440/.438 through 34 games with a homer, two steals, 14 RBI and 15 runs while seeing action in at least six games so far at all four infield positions plus right field.

Donovan went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan's batting has cooled a bit lately -- he's hitting .231 over his last eight games. In that span, he's also walked five times while striking out just twice. The 25-year-old has a .303/.442/.421 slash line with one home run, nine RBI, 14 runs scored, a stolen base and six doubles through 95 plate appearances. Impressively, his plate discipline has been solid after he didn't post a walk in his first 11 contests. He's walking at a 18.3 percent clip while striking out at just 13.7 percent.
