Tyler O'Neill

Tyler O’Neill was seen working exclusively in center field on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neill, a two-time Gold Glover in left field, was in center field during fly ball in practice. This could be helping him prepare to play for Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic where he'll be playing center field. It is possible O'Neill sees some playing time in center field for the Cardinals this season, but he should remain mostly in left field.

Tyler O'Neill has been placed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain.

Fantasy Impact

This comes as a surprise after O'Neill stole 2 bases Friday. The Cardinals are likely being cautious with O'Neill as they prepare for the playoffs. Still, fantasy managers can feel comfortable letting him go as he may only play a few more games in the regular season. He has a .228/.308/.392 slash line on the year.

Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-4 Sunday, hitting a solo home run in the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Pirates.

O'Neill missed Thursday's game due to neck stiffness, but will only have to miss one game due to the issue. He has cooled off a bit, hitting .200/.261/.350 in the month of September.

Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-4 Saturday, homering, walking once, scoring two runs, and driving in one run in the Cardinals' 8-4 win over the Cubs.
