Nogowski was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski appeared off the bench in four games during his stint on the major-league roster and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. He should get more consistent playing time in the minors, while Paul DeJong (rib) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Nogowski was recalled by the Cardinals on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was sent to the minors May 27, and he hit .345 with two home runs, six runs and five RBI across his last eight games with Triple-A Memphis. He'll now return to the major-league club and should serve in a depth role going forward.

Nogowski was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was recalled by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but he failed to make any appearances during his most recent stint in the majors. Outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Cardinals recalled Nogowski ahead of Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

With Harrison Bader being placed on the injured list with a hairline fracture in his right rib, Nogowski got the nod to rejoin the big club just five days after being sent down. He figures to be available for Tuesday's tilt in Chicago.

Nogowski was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and served as a pinch hitter in each of the last two games. However, he went hitless in two at-bats and will now head to the minors. The 28-year-old has appeared in 15 major-league games this year and has hit .071 with two runs.

Nogowski (hand) was activated off the injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski made the Cardinals' Opening Day roster but didn't receive a single start before being sidelined with a bruised hand in late April. He'll presumably fill a similar role now that he's back on the active roster, though the absence of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the injured list with a broken finger in a corresponding move, could open up more at-bats.

Nogowski (hand) could begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis as soon as Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski has been on the 10-day injured list since April 23 with a bone bruise on his left hand. Once he's reinstated from the IL, Nogowski will mainly serve as a right-handed pinch-hitting option off the bench.

Nogowski was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise on his left hand Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made retroactive to Tuesday, so Nogowski will be eligible to return next Friday, though it's not yet clear if he's expected to do so. He's done very little in limited action so far this season, going 1-for-12 at the plate. Tyler O'Neill (groin) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Cardinals manager Mike Shildt confirmed Sunday that Nogowski was awarded a spot on the team's Opening Day roster, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski received a brief cup of coffee with the Cardinals in 2020, but his inclusion on the 26-man roster to begin the 2021 campaign comes as somewhat of a surprise given that he's limited to first base and the corner outfield defensively. The 28-year-old was able to win a reserve role with St. Louis largely due to his booming bat this spring, as he went 11-for-31 with two home runs and a 9:3 BB:K in Grapefruit League play. Expect Nogowski to see most of his initial opportunities this season as a pinch hitter.

Nogowski went into Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros hitting .423 (11-for-25) with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine walks and six runs across 19 spring contests.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski has already made a seemingly airtight case to serve as Paul Goldschmidt's primary backup at first base, but Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports Nogowski has also been tried out in the outfield on several occasions this spring. Defensive versatility naturally helps his bid to secure a roster spot while competing with a field of multiple candidates that have put together a strong body of work during Grapefruit League play.
