O'Neill (knee) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill sat out with knee discomfort Sunday, but it was a minor enough issue for him to only miss one game. The outfielder played the full game in left field, which should alleviate concerns about the injury. He's up to four steals on the year while slashing .236/.323/.405 across 60 contests.

O'Neill (knee) will start in left field and bat second in Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill will return to the starting nine after he had been scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Phillies with left knee discomfort. The Cardinals' decision to deploy O'Neill in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the club has limited concern about his ability to comfortably play defense or run the bases.

O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies due to left knee discomfort, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richie Palacios will instead start in center field and bat eighth as the Cardinals close out their three-game weekend series at Philadelphia. The oft-injured O'Neill is presumably day-to-day.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Pittsburgh.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill started the first three games of the series and went 4-for-9 with two doubles, a solo homer and three walks, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's finale. Alec Burleson will handle left field while Luken Baker serves as the designated hitter.

O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill's hitting has been a bit spotty in August -- he's batting .182 over 14 games this month, but five of his eight hits in that span have been homers. The outfielder gave the Cardinals a seventh-inning spark in Thursday's loss. For the season, he's at a .235/.316/.406 slash line, seven homers, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases over 51 contests. He's still seeing a starting role in left field, though he could also work in tandem with Tommy Edman to cover center field while Lars Nootbaar (abdomen) and Dylan Carlson (oblique) are on the injured list.

O'Neill went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill's steal was his second since coming off the injured list in July, and his third of the season in as many attempts. The outfielder also logged his third multi-walk game of the season. He's scuffling a bit in August, batting .176 (6-for-34) with five walks over 11 contests this month. The slump has him down to a .238/.318/.400 slash line with six home runs, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored and eight doubles over 48 games this season.

O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-8 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill contributed a fifth-inning homer to the Cardinals' failed comeback effort. After battling knee tightness earlier in the week, he's been in the lineup in left field for two straight games, and it's encouraging he played the full game Friday despite the early lopsided score. The outfielder is slashing .247/.318/.416 with six homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases over 170 plate appearances this season.

O'Neill (knee) is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has been scratched the last two nights due to left knee tightness, but it looks like he'll be good to go in Thursday's series finale. The 28-year-old is covering left field and bating fifth for the Cardinals against the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said O'Neill (knee) could return to action Thursday versus the Rays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was scratched from the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday due to left knee tightness, but it doesn't seem to be a serious concern. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed .283/.387/.528 in 62 plate appearances since he returned July 20 from a multi-month absence for a back injury.
