St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is hopeful that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment early next week. O'Neill landed on the injured list on May 19 with a right shoulder impingement, but he could be ready to return from the IL when he's eligible in early June if he can avoid any setbacks. Brendan Donovan, Corey Dickerson and Juan Yepez have been rotating playing time in the outfield with O'Neill sidelined, and infield prospect Nolan Gorman ...

The month of May is almost over. At this point, most fantasy players have a good idea of how their fantasy is doing in their respective leagues. If you are near the top, you try to stay there. If you are at the bottom, you hope your guys can turn it around or look to make a big trade (for this year or next). If you are in the middle, take a look at your standings and see where you could gain ground. Knowing when injured players are coming back or how long they will be out for is key to your ...

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement. The 26-year-old was held out of action for each of the team's last two games while battling the shoulder injury. At first, it had sounded like a minor injury, but clearly it's worse than the team originally thought. It's been a rough start to the year for O'Neill, who is slashing .195/.256/.297 with two home runs, three stolen bases, 20 RBI and 14 runs over 32 ...

The slump has dropped O'Neill's season line to .195/.256/.297 with two home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases in 133 plate appearances over 32 games played.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He was given a couple of days off recently to hopefully get over his slump at the plate. The 26-year-old is hitting .195/.256/.297 with two homers, 20 RBI this season. He'll sit out Wednesday's game and could see more "rest" days in the future. Fantasy managers should continue to hold him because of does have solid upside with the bat.

Things are different this season. The offense is down across the board and we are seeing hitters have a lot of trouble hitting for power. These aren't unprecedented times, but we got so used to the juiced-ball homer-happy era that it feels very strange to be back to the days of the early 2010s.Some of the low numbers on the offensive side can certainly be chalked up to the early months of the season, the cold weather, and the short Spring Training. But it would seem that most of the blame must ...
