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.

O'Neill (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment next Monday or Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was slated to be evaluated early this week to determine if he was ready for a rehab assignment, and this report suggests he wasn't quite ready upon evaluation. Given this timeline, it seems like O'Neill could be activated next weekend if all goes well. Lars Nootbaar has emerged as a semi-regular option for St. Louis with Harrison Bader (foot) also on the injured list.

Manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that O'Neill (hamstring) will be evaluated early next week to determine whether he's ready to begin a rehab assignment, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury Monday, and it's encouraging that he's already being considered to begin a rehab assignment. If he's cleared to report to a minor-league affiliate next week, it's possible that he could return from the IL when first eligible.

O'Neill (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill tweaked his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Red Sox and will be forced to miss at least a week and a half due to the injury. Juan Yepez should see increased playing time in O'Neill's absence, while Lars Nootbaar was recalled by the Cardinals on Monday.

O'Neill was removed in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to left hamstring tightness, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill, who went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base on the afternoon, suffered the injury while he was running to second base on his sixth double of the season. If the hamstring issue is significant enough to force O'Neill to the 10-day injured list, Juan Yepez would likely be the top candidate to replace him in St. Louis' everyday lineup.
