Helsley (personal) was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Players are allowed to spend a maximum of three days on the paternity list, so Helsley's move to the restricted list is procedural since he isn't yet ready to rejoin the team. It's not clear when Helsley will be cleared to return, but he'll at least remain sidelined for Monday's series opener against the Cubs.

Helsley was placed on the paternity list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley hasn't pitched since he delivered a scoreless frame Tuesday against the Rockies, and he'll now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family. He should rejoin the Cardinals for Monday's series opener against the Cubs. Giovanny Gallegos is the likely candidate to fill in for any save chances this weekend in Arizona, though the team hasn't officially named a fill-in closer.

Helsley (7-1) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley kept the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, and the Cardinals won on a walkoff hit-by-pitch in their half of the frame. While he's allowed two runs in 7.1 innings in August, he's also picked up two wins and three saves with an 8:1 K:BB. The fact that this has been one of his poorer months speaks to how dominant the right-hander has been all year -- he owns a 0.91 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 72:13 K:BB with 12 saves and six holds through 49.2 innings overall.

Helsley allowed two hits and struck out three over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley has converted all four of his save chances while allowing just one run across 8.2 innings in seven appearances since the All-Star break. He entered Friday's game in the eighth inning to face the heart of the Brewers' order, then stayed on for the ninth, completing the assignment with 29 pitches (22 strikes). The 28-year-old is up to 12 saves in 15 chances while adding six holds, a 0.76 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 70:13 K:BB through 47.2 innings.

Helsley picked up the save Sunday against the Yankees. He allowed one run on one hit and zero walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Helsely entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning and had little trouble recording the out. DJ LeMahieu tagged him for a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning, but Helsley set down the other three batters he faced to record the four-out save, his 11th on the season. The 28-year-old reliever now sports an incredible 0.79 ERA to go with a 0.64 WHIP.

Helsley walked one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley was able to protect a one-run lead after Paul DeJong put the Cardinals ahead for the first time in the eighth inning. This was Helsley's ninth consecutive scoreless outing, spanning 9.1 innings, and he's picked up four saves, a win and a hold in that stretch. For the season, he owns a 0.61 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 66:13 K:BB through 44.1 innings.

Helsley (6-1) earned the win in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cubs. He allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley kept the game tied at 3-3 in the top of the ninth inning, and Lars Nootbaar delivered a walkoff single in the bottom of the frame. Save chances haven't been that prevalent for the Cardinals lately -- Helsley last recorded one July 23, though he's strung together an 8.1-inning scoreless streak in his last eight outings. The hard-throwing righty owns a 0.62 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 66:12 K:BB with nine saves, six holds and three blown saves through 43.1 innings.

Helsley struck out three in 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley got the final out of the eighth inning and then struck out the side in the ninth. He's allowed only one unearned run in 9.2 innings in July while posting an impressive 15:2 K:BB this month. The 28-year-old continues to dominate as the Cardinals' top closer. He's up to nine saves in 12 chances with six holds, a 0.67 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 60:12 K:BB across 40.1 innings.

Helsley earned the save during Friday's 7-3 win against the Reds, allowing one hit while recording one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Helsely entered with two on and none out in the ninth and surrendered a leadoff single to Nick Senzel to load the bases and bring the tying run to the plate. He proceeded to induce two flyouts and a strikeout to end the game and extend his scoreless innings streak to 8.1 frames across six appearances. The 27-year-old concludes the first half with a 0.69 ERA and 0.67 WHIP with 57 strikeouts across 39 innings and appears to be the top option to finish games for Manager Oliver Marmol.

Helsley picked up the save Sunday, tossing a perfect ninth inning in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Helsley was able to get three flyouts to close out the ballgame and earn his seventh save. After fanning 24 in his previous 13.2 innings, he did not record a strikeout for the first time since June 7. The 27-year-old continues to dominate opponents and his 0.73 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and .107 opponents' batting average are some of the best marks in baseball.
