O'Neill exited Saturday's game against the Nationals due to leg cramps, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill exited in the fifth inning, with Corey Dickerson taking over in left field. The injury doesn't appear to be particularly serious, though it's possible that the Cardinals opt to sit O'Neill on Sunday as the team has no game scheduled Monday.

O'Neill went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
In his last four games, O'Neill has gone 0-for-15, though he's drawn three walks and scored three runs in that span. The outfielder's slump at the plate has dropped his slash line to .225/.292/.340 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 29 runs scored and eight steals in 54 contests this season. With Harrison Bader (foot) and Juan Yepez (forearm) still sidelined for a minimum of a week more and likely longer, O'Neill's playing time is fairly safe. Corey Dickerson will likely be his top competition in the short term.

O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has hit safely in four of five games since returning from the injured list, though his homer Saturday was his first extra-base hit in that span. He's slashing .243/.303/.368 with five long balls, seven steals, 33 RBI and 26 runs scored through 50 contests. Injuries have limited the 27-year-old this year, but he should continue to serve as the Cardinals' top left fielder when healthy.

O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to give St. Louis a short-lived lead. In four starts since returning from the injured list, O'Neill has collected three hits across 14 at-bats with no extra-base hits. For the season, he has maintained a .239/.300/.350 line across 203 plate appearances.

O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start in left field and bat sixth Thursday against the Dodgers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has been sidelined past few weeks by hamstring and wrist injuries, but he's back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus Los Angeles. The 27-year-old had a slow start to the season, but he posted a .905 OPS through 13 games in June before landing on the injured list.

O'Neill (hamstring) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals hoped that O'Neill would be able to rejoin the team as early as Wednesday, but he'll spend at least one more day on the IL as a precautionary measure. It's possible that he'll be back in action for Thursday's series finale against the Dodgers.

O'Neill (hamstring) said his bruised right wrist checked out fine following a full workout Monday, potentially putting him on track to come off the 10-day injured list as soon as Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has received full medical clearance from the wrist injury as well as the left hamstring strain that initially forced him to the IL on June 20, but the Cardinals may want to see him play in at least one more rehab game in the minors before activating him. Whether he comes off the IL on Wednesday or later in the week, O'Neill should take back a full-time role in left field upon his return to the lineup.

O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) will take full batting practice and participate in throwing drills Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has been on the injured list since June 20 with a left hamstring strain, but it was a small tear as well as bruising to his left wrist that resulted in him being pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis a few days ago. Fortunately, O'Neill's ability to resume workouts less than a week later suggests he won't be in store for an extended absence. The Cardinals may want to send him back to Triple-A for another rehab game or two before activating him from the IL, but O'Neill at least looks like he has an outside shot at making it back prior to the All-Star break.
