The Cardinals reinstated O'Neill (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Reliever Jake Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Memphis to clear room on the active roster for O'Neill, who returns to the big club after going 5-for-13 with a home run and a double during a three-game minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend. With one of their everyday corner outfielders back in action in O'Neill, the Cardinals will likely turn to Brendan Donovan to handle the other corner-outfield spot while Dylan Carlson (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

O'Neill (shoulder) has made enough progress during his rehab assignment that he could be activated during the first series of the week in Tampa Bay, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just a day ago, it seemed that a return against the Rays was unlikely, but O'Neill had three hits Friday and the game-winning home run Saturday, so the Cardinals may activate him sooner than expected. Corey Dickerson landed on the injured list Sunday with a calf strain, so the Cardinals' outfield depth is getting tested.

O'Neill (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated until next weekend's series against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He and Dylan Carlson (hamstring) each slotted in at designated hitter Friday in rehab games and will progress to playing the outfield this weekend. O'Neill went 3-for-5 with a double and two strikeouts in his first rehab game. Manager Oliver Marmol said he doubted that either O'Neill or Carlson would be ready to join the team in Tampa Bay for the series that runs Tuesday through Thursday of next week.

O'Neill (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Memphis on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was originally expected to begin the rehab stint early this week, but the cortisone injection he received last Friday delayed it a few days. O'Neill will serve as the designated hitter in his first appearance with Memphis and should work back into the outfield in the days that follow.

O'Neill (shoulder) has been slightly delayed but may be able to begin a rehab assignment Friday or Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The delay follows O'Neill's visit to a doctor Tuesday. He's been out for two weeks with a sore right shoulder and will likely miss at least one more, but he could return sometime early next week if he begins his rehab on schedule and only needs to play in a couple games.

O'Neill (shoulder) will visit a doctor Tuesday, at which point he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill has already missed the required 10 days with a right shoulder impingement, but his return doesn't seem to be quite imminent. He received a cortisone shot Friday, however, and if the doctor confirms that he's healing as expected, he'll be ready for game action soon. He probably won't need too many rehab games given that he's been out for less than two weeks.

O'Neill (shoulder) received a cortisone shot Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill hit the injured list late last week with a shoulder impingement. Tests revealed this week that he's also dealing with some fluid buildup. If the cortisone shot has its desired effect, he could embark on a rehab stint as soon as early next week.

Manager Oliver Marmol said he hopes O'Neill (shoulder) will be ready to start a minor-league rehab assignment early next week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old landed on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement last week, but it appears he's already on the cusp of a rehab assignment. The rehab assignment could also be a way for O'Neil to get in some extra plate appearances given his .195/.256/.297 slash line this year.

O'Neill (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is dealing with a right shoulder impingement and will have at least a week and a half to recover. Nolan Gorman's contract was selected as part of a corresponding move, and he should see playing time at second base while Tommy Edman shifts to shortstop. While O'Neill is unavailable, Brendan Donovan, Juan Yepez and Corey Dickerson should be in the mix for playing time in left field.

O'Neill will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill has been sidelined for the last two games with a shoulder issue, and he'll be forced to miss at least a week and a half. The Cardinals will call up Nolan Gorman to make his major-league debut Friday, while Corey Dickerson should see increased playing time in left field during O'Neill's absence.
