  • Suffers right elbow contusion
    The Cardinals announced that Arenado was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Initial X-rays on Arenado's elbow appear to have revealed no structural damage, but he'll undergo further medical evaluation as the Cardinals look to ascertain that he's not dealing with anything more than a bruise. Before he was lifted from the game for a pitch runner after being hit in the elbow by a 94 mile-per-hour sinker during his fourth plate appearance of the day, Arenado went 2-for-3 with his first stolen base of the season and a run scored.

  • Absent from lineup again
    Martinez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Martinez didn't play Tuesday in his first game after receiving a promotion and he will begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench, as well. It's not a good sign for the youngster's playing time outlook during his first stint in the big leagues. The Blue Jays have Spencer Horwitz at second base, Addison Barger at third base and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at shortstop Wednesday. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals say Arenado has right elbow contusion
    The Cardinals said Nolan Arenado has a right elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch Wednesday.

    Advice: That doesn’t mean much at this point, since he’s still undergoing tests. It certainly didn’t look good when it happened. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Productive third rehab game
    Polanco (hamstring) shifted his rehab assignment to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, playing seven innings at second base and going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to Las Vegas.

    Advice: It was a feel-good night all around for Polanco within the context of his recovery, as he handled the bump up in affiliate from High-A Everett well and logged his longest time on the field yet over his first three minor-league games. The veteran infielder is likely due for at least one more outing with the Rainiers before activation is considered, and in addition to the apparently improved condition of his previously ailing hamstring, it's encouraging Polanco has reached safely in all three rehab games thus far.

  • Leaves following HBP on elbow
    Arenado was removed from Wednesday's game in Miami after being hit by a pitch on the right elbow, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He went 2-for-3 with his first stolen base of the season and a run scored prior to exiting the game.

    Advice: A Huascar Brazoban offering in the top of the eighth inning caught Arenado, who went down in a heap. He looked to be in considerable pain and eventually exited the field with a trainer. The Cardinals should have more on his condition shortly. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Bryan Reynolds crushes go-ahead homer vs. Reds
    Bryan Reynolds launched a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning on Wednesday, lifting the Pirates to a 1-0 victory over the Reds.

    Advice: Reynolds snapped a scoreless stalemate by taking Reds reliever Nick Martinez deep to left-center field with two outs in the eighth inning. It was his 10th round-tripper of the season and wound up being the lone tally for either side in a throwback pitcher’s duel on a sizzling-hot, 87-degree afternoon at PNC Park. The 29-year-old outfielder is batting .343 (24-for-70) with three homers, 10 RBI and one steal in 17 games since the outset of June. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Nolan Arenado exits after taking pitch off right elbow
    Nolan Arenado left Wednesday’s game against the Marlins after being hit on the right elbow by a pitch.

    Advice: Arenado was still in a whole lot of pain and not moving his arm as he was helped off. José Fermín replaced him in the contest. If Arenado goes on the IL, Fermín would stand to benefit, but the Cardinals could also give Brandon Donovan more infield time. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Alek Thomas’s rehab assignment on hold
    Alek Thomas’s rehab assignment is again on hold as he deals with soreness, but he could resume playing in games this weekend.

    Advice: Thomas has had a tough time making his way back from a hamstring injury suffered March 31. He had a significant setback on his original rehab assignment in early May, and while this doesn’t seem to be nearly as serious, his body continues to hold him back. Thomas last played for the Rookie ACL Diamondbacks on Monday, going 3-for-3 with a double. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Drawing fifth straight start
    Schneemann will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schneemann will make his fifth straight start and will occupy his third different position over that span. The utility player has already been used at six different positions since being called up at the beginning of the month and is maintaining a 1.115 OPS over his first 33 big-league plate appearances.
