O'Neill's absence from the lineup Thursday against the Mets is due to a sore right shoulder, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury explains why O'Neill will be on the bench for the second straight game. As long as his injury remains nothing worse than soreness, he should be back in the lineup soon, but it's possible it develops into something which requires a trip to the injured list. It's unclear if the injury has bothered him all season, as he certainly hasn't hit as if he's fully healthy, slashing just .195/.256/.297.

O'Neill is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill will take a seat for the second consecutive game Thursday, potentially because he's struggled mightily recently. The outfielder has gone 3-for-21 with 11 strikeouts in his last five contests. Juan Yepez will get the start in left field and bat fifth as the Cardinals take on Chris Bassitt and the Mets.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill is 2-for-20 with nine strikeouts over his past six contests, and he finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game. According to Jones, the two straight off days are by design as the 26-year-old consulted with the coaching staff and is attempting to work on his swing. Juan Yepez will move to left field Sunday while Albert Pujols serves as the designated hitter.

O'Neill will receive a $3.4 million contract in 2022 after losing his arbitration case against the Cardinals on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill filed for $4.15 million in arbitration, but he'll be forced to settle for a slightly lower salary. The 26-year-old is hitting just .198 with two homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and three stolen bases this year, but he's been an everyday player for St. Louis.

O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk, three RBI and two runs during Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old homered and drove in five runs Opening Day, but entering Wednesday's contest he hadn't gone deep in the past 21 games and had a .446 OPS during that stretch. O'Neill finally busted out in Kansas City but still has plenty of work to do with a .202/.276/.333 slash line through 23 games.

O'Neill went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill went hitless for the fifth time in his last seven games, but he was still able to cross the place for the first time since April 20. The outfielder has gotten into a bit of a slump, dropping his slash line to .186/.275/.271 with a home runs, 10 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored through 69 plate appearances this season. With Lars Nootbaar optioned to Triple-A Memphis earlier in the week, O'Neill's starting role in left field should continue to be safe as he works to get back on track.
