O'Neill went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a solo home run in a win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

When the promising slugger was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on June 29, the hope was he was ready to take the next step in his big-league development. O'Neill promptly went 1-for-8 over his first two games back, with six of those outs disappointingly coming on strikeouts. While that seemed to portend a continuation of the contact issues that have plagued him thus far in his professional career, O'Neill has done a dramatic about-face since that first pair of contests, going .400 with seven extra-base hits (three doubles, four home runs), 11 RBI, two walks and eight runs. His 28.6 percent strikeout rate during those 42 plate appearances is still elevated, but it's actually a fairly significant improvement over O'Neill's first big-league stint of 2019 (March 28 to May 2), when he whiffed at a 46.2 percent clip.

O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two runs and four RBI to help the Cardinals to a 7-0 victory over the Pirates on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Th 24-year-old carried the offensive load on a day the Cardinals got a complete-game shutout from Miles Mikolas, driving in four of his team's seven runs and cranking his fourth home run of the season with a two-run shot in the fifth inning off Joe Musgrove. O'Neill is now slashing .295/.329/.513 over 78 at-bats and should continue to see regular at-bats in the short term with Marcell Ozuna (finger) on the injured list.

O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old tied his career high in RBI thanks to a two-run double in the first inning and a two-run blast in the third. O'Neill is now slashing .271/.311/.414 through 30 games with two homers and nine RBI, and if he can catch fire he could see regular playing time until Marcell Ozuna (finger) gets healthy.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill had started seven games in a row before sitting for the final contest of the first half. He'll remain on the bench for the first game of the second half, with Jose Martinez starting in left field.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill had started each of the past seven games in left field, going 7-for-27 with a double, three walks and 11 strikeouts during that span. Making consistent contact has been a problem for O'Neill across his various stints in the big leagues, but he'll at least provide the Cardinals with some power upside on the occasions he starts. Though he'll sit out Sunday, he could continue to see regular action coming out of the All-Star break if Marcell Ozuna (finger) remains on the 10-day injured list.

O'Neill, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, went 0-for-8 with six strikeouts in his two weekend starts against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is getting first crack at filling in for Marcell Ozuna (fingers) in left field, but the inability to make consistent contact that's been an albatross for him at the big-league level thus far has quickly resurfaced. The slugging prospect has a whopping 50.0 percent strikeout rate over a small sample of 48 plate major-league appearances this season, following a 40.1 percent figure over 142 plate appearances during his initial 2018 cup of coffee with the Cardinals in 2018. O'Neill does have the ability to offset those contact issues to a degree with his impressive power, but he'll naturally have to whittle down the whiffs in order to become a viable everyday asset down the line.

O'Neill was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday and will start in left field against the Padres, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill joins the Cardinals in San Diego and will immediately slot into the starting lineup with Marcell Ozuna (fingers) landing on the injured list. The 24-year-old figures to see a decent amount of playing time for the near future since Ozuna has no official timeline for his return.

O'Neill is 6-for-13 with a home run, three RBI, a walk and four runs overall in his first three games for Triple-A Memphis since returning from the 7-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill was sidelined with a hamstring injury after a June 13 loss to Salt Lake, but the time off clearly did nothing to disrupt his timing at the plate. The power-hitting outfielder went into his stint on the injured list with a five-game hitting streak, and he's been similarly productive since returning by rapping out three straight multi-hit tallies. O'Neill is hitting .342 overall in his last 10 games with the Redbirds as he bides his time until another callup to the big-league club.

O'Neill (hamstring) was placed on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is specifically suffering from a left hamstring spasm, but it reportedly isn't a serious setback for the promising outfielder. The 23-year-old is currently slashing .250/.304/.500 with the Redbirds, a line partly comprised of four doubles, nine home runs and 23 RBI.

O'Neill won't get the call as the 26th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals as he's day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lane Thomas gets the call for the day instead of O'Neill. O'Neill struggled to a .263/.282/.395 line in 21 games for the Cardinals at the start of the season but has posted a strong .288/.339/.692 line since a demotion to Triple-A Memphis.
