O'Neill is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres due to left knee discomfort, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has dealt with the knee issue off and on for the bulk of August. He's unavailable off the bench Wednesday, though it's unclear at this point whether O'Neill's absence might extend into the weekend. Richie Palacios will pick up the start in left field Wednesday in place of O'Neill.

O'Neill is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The hulking outfielder looks to be receiving a routine day off. With O'Neill getting a breather, Richie Palacios will patrol left field for the Cardinals.

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.
