    The St. Louis Cardinals are looking for other players to step up with the news that Ivan Herrera will spend an extended period of time on the IL with a strained hamstring. Herrera leads the team in batting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS among players who have seen at least 50 at bats. A trio of young players will attempt to step in and fill that production. The 25-year-old catcher has been enjoying a breakout year. He has a slash line of .320/.392/.533.

    Coming off a season where Ryan Helsley was the best closer in baseball, he has comparatively struggled this season. However, the St. Louis Cardinals aren’t concerned about their All-Star closer’s struggles so far in 2025. Helsley has maintained that he feels good in recent weeks and remains optimistic. The flamethrowing right-hander’s last four outings have all looked similar in the box score: two hits and one earned run. In the past two, he has even surrendered a home run.

    St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan is dealing with an injury to his big toe, but told reporters on Wednesday that he thinks he will avoid an IL stint. Donovan left Tuesday’s 10-9 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays with left toe discomfort. He is day-to-day with the injury, though he is not being placed on the IL as an MRI didn’t reveal a break. Donovan has been diagnosed with a sprained capsule in his left big toe.

    The St. Louis Cardinals are five games into a stretch of 29 games in 30 days. The coming weeks will test the Cardinals’ pitching depth, both with their starters and relievers. It will also be a test for just how good the team is after they came off a month of May with the best record in baseball. To cope with the long stretch with minimal off-days, the Cardinals will expand their starting rotation again to six men.

    With more than a third of the 2025 season complete, the St. Louis Cardinals are still struggling to find playing time for former first-round pick Nolan Gorman. The 25-year-old infielder is struggling at the plate and is blocked by better options for the surprisingly contending Cardinals. However, his limited playing time will make it difficult for the team to evaluate what to do moving forward with Gorman.

Walker has been working on his mechanics this off-season with new @Cardinals coaches. He feels more comfortable at the plate and hopes that will translate to success in his third MLB season.

This time last year Dylan Carlson was slated to be starting for the @cardinals. He was then injured in spring training, struggled when he came back, traded to the Rays, then cut Tampa. Now he gets a fresh start on a contending team.
