Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Continues hot streak Friday
Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers.
Donovan drove in what was ultimately the game-winning run in the fifth inning, with his single to left field off Chad Patrick bringing Lars Nootbaar home. Donovan has logged at least one hit in 21 of 24 games this season, and his .366 batting average over 102 plate appearances leads the National League.

Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Notches fourth save
Helsley earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.
Helsley was brought in for the ninth inning to preserve a one-run lead. He got around an Isaac Collins leadoff single by inducing a double play, and Helsley secured the save after Caleb Durbin lined out to center field. Helsley has recorded a save in three of his last four outings and has a 2.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over nine innings this season.

Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Back in win column
Liberatore (2-2) earned the win against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Liberatore got through the first five innings with ease, allowing just two baserunners over that span. His shutout efforts were dashed in the sixth inning on a Christian Yelich RBI single, and Liberatore was tagged for a second run after being lifted in the seventh. It was Liberatore's third straight quality start and fourth of the season, and his 0.97 WHIP through 31 innings is ninth best in the National League among qualified starters. He's tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Reds.

Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Aiming for rehab games next week
Herrera (knee) hopes to begin a rehab assignment May 1, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Herrera is making good progress in his recovery from a left knee bone bruise, having run, hit and caught off a pitching machine this week without any setbacks. He should require only a few rehab games before returning to the Cardinals' lineup.

Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Taking seat Friday
Burleson is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Brewers.
The Cardinals plan to give Nolan Gorman -- who is at designated hitter Friday -- a run of playing time, and it could come mostly at the expense of Burleson. The 26-year-old Burleson is hitting .276 on the young season but has yet to homer.

Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Returns to St. Louis lineup
Donovan (rib) will start at second base and bat third in Friday's game versus the Brewers.
Donovan missed the previous two contests after he had a rib pop out of place, but he's back in there for the start of the series against the Brewers. The 28-year-old will carry a .925 OPS into play Friday.

Cardinals' Ryan Fernandez: Optioned to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
Fernandez pitched well in his rookie season in 2024 and came into 2025 as a setup man for the Cardinals, but he's really struggled, allowing 13 runs (11 earned) with a 7:5 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Riley O'Brien is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Brought up from minors
The Cardinals recalled O'Brien from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Ryan Fernandez, who was optioned to Memphis. O'Brien has yielded three earned runs while striking out 14 over seven innings with Memphis this season. He'll look to help out a struggling St. Louis bullpen.

Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Could begin rehab assignment soon
The Cardinals will evaluate Herrera's (knee) progress and timetable for a rehab assignment when they return home Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Herrera is progressing well from a left knee bone bruise, as he's been able to run, hit and catch off a pitching machine without issue in recent days. A rehab assignment seems to be around the corner, but more will be known after he's evaluated Friday. Herrera has been shelved since early April.

Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Expected back in lineup Friday
Donovan (rib) is expected to return to the Cardinals' lineup Friday versus the Brewers, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Donovan missed the final two games of the series in Atlanta after he had a rib pop out of place. He'll get a third day of rest during the Cardinals' off day Thursday before rejoining the lineup for the series opener Friday at home against Milwaukee.

Cardinals' Steven Matz: Permanent move to rotation possible
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Matz moving into the rotation on a more permanent basis "should be on the table," Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Matz has made one start and six relief appearances so far this season and excelled in both roles, posting a 1.86 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He will be available out of the bullpen for this weekend's series against the Brewers, but if he's not needed, he'll make a start next week in Cincinnati. Miles Mikolas' spot in the Cardinals' rotation would appear to be the most vulnerable, although he tossed six shutout frames his last time out. While Matz is pitching well enough to be considered for a regular place in the St. Louis rotation, it does not seem that move is imminent.

Cardinals' Steven Matz: Next start coming in Cincy
Matz isn't expected to make his second start of the season until next week's series in Cincinnati, when the Cardinals will shift back to a six-man rotation, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Matz had made his first five appearances of the season out of the bullpen before manager Oliver Marmol elected to expand the rotation to six men last week during a busy portion of the schedule. The southpaw was sharp in his first start April 16, claiming a win while limiting the Astros to one run on two hits and no walks over five innings. Despite Matz's strong outing, the Cardinals moved him back to the bullpen to begin the current week, with an off day Thursday allowing the team to temporarily condense the rotation to five men. Matz was called upon in relief in the Cardinals' 10-4 victory over Atlanta on Tuesday, when he recorded his second win of the season while tossing 2.2 scoreless innings. St. Louis will likely stay away from Matz for this weekend's series versus Milwaukee before reinserting him into the rotation early next week.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Set to receive regular playing time
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that he plans to give Gorman a lengthy "run" of starts, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Marmol revealed the plan prior to Gorman delivering a go-ahead, bases-clearing double in the eighth inning of Tuesday's win in Atlanta. Brendan Donovan (rib) being banged up has allowed Gorman to settle in at second base and in the third spot in the lineup for a second straight day Wednesday, and Gorman has started five straight contests overall. Donovan is not expected to need a stint on the injured list, and when he returns Gorman could get at-bats in the designated hitter spot at the expense of Alec Burleson.

Cardinals' Quinn Mathews: Set to resume throwing
Mathews (shoulder) will resume a throwing program Wednesday or Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
The top prospect was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis last week with mild left shoulder soreness, an issue Mathews believe arose because his mechanics got out of whack. He's been doing resistance-band and weighted plyometric ball work and the resumption of a throwing program is imminent. It's not clear when Mathews might be ready to rejoin the Memphis rotation. He's struggled in the early going this season, holding a 6.10 ERA and 7:15 K:BB over his first 10.1 innings.

Cardinals' Nathan Church: Moves past injury
Church (undisclosed) went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Tuesday in Double-A Springfield's 12-1 loss to Wichita after being activated from the 7-day injured list Monday.
Church made his 2025 debut with Springfield after an unspecified injury had kept him on the shelf to begin the season. The 24-year-old was cleared to report to Double-A after completing a four-game rehab assignment last week with Single-A Palm Beach, during which he went 2-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, three runs and an RBI.
