EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Though Donovan rejoined the Cardinals earlier this week, he'll sit out his fifth straight contest while he works to regain conditioning following a bout with a non-COVID-19-related illness.

EDGE Analysis

According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Donovan is away from the ballpark for the second day in a row while he battles symptoms that aren't specifically related to COVID-19.

Donovan won't be at the park Saturday against the Phillies due to an illness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan's illness has not yet been reported to be COVID-19, so it's possible his absence will be brief. Either way, he won't be appearing in any capacity in Saturday's contest.

Donovan isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan hit just .200 with seven strikeouts over his last six games and will be out of the lineup for the first time since June 22. The 25-year-old will likely see more sporadic days off going forward after Corey Dickerson (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

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.
