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.

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.

O'Neill (hamstring) sustained a left wrist contusion when he was hit by a pitch during a rehab game Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill underwent testing that didn't reveal a fracture in his wrist, but he's dealing with some swelling. He was initially targeting a Friday return but will now be re-evaluated over the weekend. It's not yet clear whether the 27-year-old will be able to return during the Cardinals' weekend series against the Phillies.

O'Neill (hamstring) isn't expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old rejoined the team Thursday after a two-game rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis and appeared poised to be activated Friday, but he'll apparently have to wait return from the IL. The reasoning for the delay remains unclear, and O'Neill should still be expected to return sometime this weekend until indicated otherwise.

O'Neill (hamstring) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Phillies, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill reported to Triple-A Memphis this week for a rehab assignment and appears set to rejoin the Cardinals after going 3-for-7 with a double and an RBI in two games. The 27-year-old landed on the shelf with a hamstring strain June 20, so it's not a major surprise he won't require a significant rehab stint before being activated.

O'Neill (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill will serve as Memphis' designated hitter Monday and then advance to playing in left field Wednesday and Thursday. If all goes to plan, he could be back with the Cardinals as soon as Friday when they start a three-game series versus the Phillies.
