O'Neill (finger) went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill made a quick impact in his return from a sprained left middle finger. He went deep in the second inning off Arizona starter Jon Duplantier. O'Neill is up to nine homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and four stolen bases across 112 plate appearances. He's striking out at a 33.9 percent clip, but as long as he continues to hit for power, he should be a fixture in the lineup.

O'Neill (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill resumed baseball activities late last week, and he should be available for Thursday's series opener in Arizona. The 25-year-old should reclaim his everyday role for the Cardinals now that he's fully healthy. O'Neill has hit .250 with eight home runs, 18 RBI and four stolen bases this season.

Manager Mike Shildt said Tuesday that he expects O'Neill (finger) to be activated at some point during the current road trip, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was given the green light to resume baseball activities late last week and he now appears to be on track to rejoin the Cardinals by the conclusion of their three-city road trip June 2. With Harrison Bader (ribs) joining him on the injured list Tuesday, O'Neill's return becomes even more important for the Redbirds moving forward.

O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill left Sunday's game against San Diego after suffering what was originally called a sprained finger while sliding into second base on a steal. The issue is apparently more serious than originally reported, and he'll miss at least 10 days and likely more. He'll test his finger next week, at which point a clearer timeline should emerge. Justin Williams takes over in left field in his absence Tuesday against the Pirates.

O'Neill went 2-for-4 with two-run home run and a strikeout as St. Louis fell 5-4 to San Diego on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill's eighth-inning shot off Emilio Pagan cut St. Louis' deficit in half and was the outfielder's third homer in four games. O'Neill hasn't offered much aside from power this season with a .242/.270/.526 slash line, though eight homers and three steals in just 28 games has been a big boost to fantasy managers that plucked him off the waiver wire following an early season injury.

O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill provided the Cardinals' only offense of the day when he took Brandon Woodruff deep in the eighth inning. It was his seventh home run of the season and second in as many games. He's overcome a 32.6 percent strikeout rate to remain productive early on this season, but he'll likely need to make more contact to remain a consistent producer at the plate.

O'Neill went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was hitless through four at-bats, but he went yard in the 11th inning to provide insurance runs for the Cardinals. It was O'Neill's sixth home run of the season and first in his last eight games. Despite the power surge, he's striking out at a 32.6 percent clip, which has limited him to a .238/.270/.488 line across 89 plate appearances. On the other hand, he's racked up 14 runs scored, 15 RBI and three stolen bases to even out his production.
