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.

    The start to the past two seasons could not have been more different for St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II. In 2024, injuries aided him earning an Opening Day slot as the team’s center fielder out of Spring Training. He was shortly after sent down to the minors after struggling with the big league club. This season, Scott II earned the center field spot again coming out of Spring Training. However, this time, he has tightened his grip on the role.

    The St. Louis Cardinals have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past month. Their league-leading defense has fueled their success of late. In part, the team is set up to benefit from stellar defense. The pitching staff is designed to get outs in the field rather than through strikeouts.
