St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-handed slugger has been sidelined since the first week of May due to lingering back issues. O'Neill went through a full workout with the team on Monday, but that is all he's going to do. The Cardinals are going to wait until Tuesday to officially activate him. That being said, fantasy managers will be without O'Neill for at least one more game.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is aiming to be activated on Monday. He's currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and will serve as the designated hitter on Saturday before playing in the field on Sunday. If all goes well, the 28-year-old may return to the big club for the series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins. Unfortunately, O'Neill has struggled this season, so few fantasy managers are eager to see him make his way back. However, he's still worth monitoring moving ahead, especially if he starts to get hot.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has restarted a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and is set to play seven innings in the field on Friday before serving as the designated hitter on Saturday. He will play again on Sunday and could be able to return from the injured list as early as next week. O'Neill has hit just .228 (21-for-92) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games due to injury this year for the Cardinals, but he figures to see regular playing time in St. Louis' outfield when he does finally make it back. The 28-year-old has been a huge disappointment the last two years, but his power/speed combination remains intriguing. O'Neill is rostered in only 43 percent of Yahoo leagues right now.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis. O'Neill will serve as the designated hitter on Tuesday and eventually return to the outfield after passing a variety of stress tests. The Cardinals aren't going to rush him back since he's been out since early May with a back injury, so don't be surprised if he doesn't come off the injured list until after next week's All-Star break. The 28-year-old was hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with two homers, four doubles, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 29 games before his injury, but he'll be an everyday player for the Red Birds when he returns and has an intriguing power/speed profile. O'Neill is only rostered in 44% of Yahoo leagues right now, so consider grabbing him now if he's available in your league and you need outfield help.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has resumed baseball activities and is hoping to start a rehab assignment at some point next week. The 28-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since May 4 after suffering a lower back strain and landing on the injured list. O'Neill was struggling before the ailment, slashing .228/.283/.337 with two homers, 12 runs, six RBI, and one steal over 29 games. There's still no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will need to stay patient and continue to stash the power-speed threat in most formats. Hopefully, O'Neill can return closer to the player who went deep 34 times and stole 15 bags in 2021.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The 27-year-old has been on the shelf since the beginning of May because of a low back strain. He was cleared to play catch on Friday and will begin swinging a bat sometime next week. However, O'Neill, who is hitting just .228 this season, may not be back until at least July, assuming things move in the right direction.

The St. Louis Cardinals moved outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) to the 60-day injured list on Friday to make room on the 40-man roster for infielder/outfielder Richie Palacios, who they acquired from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for cash considerations. Palacios was optioned to Triple-A Memphis. O'Neill initially went on the injured list on May 5, and now he'll be out until at least July 4. The 27-year-old Canadian outfielder was a disappointment before his injury, hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with four doubles, two home runs and six RBI in 29 games played. With Lars Nootbaar (back) also still on the IL, the Cardinals have been running with an outfield alignment of rookie Jordan Walker in left, Tommy Edman in center and Dylan Carlson in right field.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is feeling pain-free and hopes to resume baseball activities on Thursday, per beat writer John Denton. O'Neill told reporters that he's pain-free after he received two cortisone injections and an epidural nerve block at the beginning of the month. He was shut down from baseball activities for 10 days but he's feeling good now and said he hopes to continue his rehab this week. If all goes well, he should make it back to the Cardinals lineup towards the end of the month. The 27-year-old slugger has been out since May 5 while dealing with a lower back strain.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has been shut down from baseball activities for a third time after experiencing more discomfort in his lower back, according to MLB.com. The slugger has been out since May 4 but hasn't made much progress in his recovery, and manager Oliver Marmol said the team is "at a standstill." Before the injury, O'Neill was slashing .228/.283/.337 with two bombs, 12 runs, six RBI, and one stolen base over 29 games. There's no timetable for his return, but hopefully, he can come back as the player that went deep 34 times and swiped 15 bags in 2021.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill's (back) rehab is "at a standstill." O'Neill has been out since May 5 with a lower-back strain and has been shut down from baseball activities three times because of persistent pain. The 27-year-old power/speed threat still needs to be stashed in an injured-list spot in most fantasy leagues, but he is out indefinitely until further notice. It's a frustrating development after he went 21-for-92 (.228) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI and a stolen base in 29 games before his back injury. Until further notice, Lars Nootbaar will continue to serve as the team's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter with O'Neill on the shelf.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) took light swings off a tee on Wednesday as he works to restart baseball activities. O'Neill has been on the injured list since May 5 with persistent back pain, but he appears to be making some progress this week. The 27-year-old will surely need at least a handful of minor-league rehab games before the Cardinals deem him ready to rejoin the big-league lineup, but there's a chance that could happen by early June. O'Neill has been a disappointment so far through 92 at-bats in 2023, and he was also benched for lack of hustle. He's currently hitting .228 (21-for-92) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI and 34 K's in 29 games, but he'll most likely have an everyday role when he's back.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) hasn't progressed enough with his baseball activities in order to be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals aren't rushing the 27-year-old back and will slow play things a little longer. O'Neill is currently on the injured list with a lower-back strain, and he hasn't played since May 4. Along with the injury, it's been a disappointing season so far for O'Neill's fantasy managers, as he's hitting just .228 (21-for-92) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI and 12 runs scored in 99 plate appearances and 29 games. O'Neill's power/speed combination has left a lot to be desired the last two years, and injuries haven't helped.

The St. Louis Cardinals placed outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) on the 10-day injured list and right-hander Jake Woodford (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday and recalled outfielder/infielder Juan Yepez and right-hander James Naile from Triple-A Memphis in corresponding moves. Right-hander Wilking Rodriguez (shoulder) was also moved to the 60-day IL. O'Neill will miss at least a week with a lower-back strain, and the 27-year-old was hitting a disappointing .228 with two home runs and one stolen base in 29 games this year. There's no timetable for his return. Yepez wasn't hitting very well in the minors prior to his call-up, but he had a combined 28 round-trippers between the majors and minors in 2022 and could see decent playing time against left-handed pitchers with O'Neill on the shelf.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was scratched from the lineup on Friday due to back tightness. However, it appears he's feeling better now as he'll bat sixth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with O'Neill back in the lineup for this game.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers with tightness in his back. Until we know more on O'Neill's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Coming into Friday night's contest, the 27-year-old Canadian was hitting .256 (20-for-78) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI, a stolen base and 11 runs scored in 85 plate appearances over 24 games played. Hopefully, O'Neill isn't forced to miss too much time and can return to the lineup for fantasy managers at some point this weekend against LA. With O'Neill out, Dylan Carlson got the start in center field on Friday and is hitting ninth against Dodgers right-hander Dustin May.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 27-year-old slugger. The Cardinals have a crowded outfield, so O'Neill is just the odd man out for tonight's game. Lars Nootbaar will cover center field and bat seventh against right-hander George Kirby on Friday. The expectation is that O'Neill will return next game, but he could see plenty of rest days with the Cardinals current outfield situation.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is getting the day off in Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cards are rolling with Alec Burleson in left field, Lars Nootbaar in center, and Jordan Walker in right field. O'Neill is off to a decent start at the dish this year, slashing .255/.286/.404 with a pair of home runs, four RBI, and a stolen base over 47 at-bats. He's started most games this season but the Cardinals have a lot of mouths to feed so he will be subjected to the occasional day off.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 27-year-old was recently benched for lack of hustle, but this appears to be a routine rest day. Regardless, Dylan Carlson will cover center field and bat eighth versus righty German Marquez on Monday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with O'Neill on the bench.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 27-year-old was held out of Wednesday's contest due to disciplinary reasons. Manager Oliver Marmol said that O'Neill wasn't hustling during Tuesday's contest. It appears the two of them were able to bury the hatchet, so O'Neill is back on Friday. He'll bat sixth and play center field against right-hander Brandon Woodruff.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is being benched on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves for disciplinary reasons after manager Oliver Marmol thought O'Neill wasn't running the bases hard on Tuesday. Marmol also declined to answer whether O'Neill would be back in the starting lineup on Friday after Thursday's off day. Dylan Carlson is starting in center field on Wednesday and is hitting sixth against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. It's a situation worth watching for those that roster O'Neill, but we suspect he'll return at some point this weekend. The 27-year-old is off to a solid start in five games, hitting .294 (5-for-17) with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in 18 plate appearances.
