The Cardinals wasted no time in immediately putting Nathan Church in their starting lineup. The franchise’s #14 ranked prospect will wear No. 27, according to the team.
Scott’s injury has been diagnosed as a left ankle sprain. Last season, he played 53 games with St. Louis, but this year he has already played in 116 games. His 2.3 WAR is a significant improvement from last season’s -0.5.
Through 116 games, Scott has a .223 batting average and a .623 OPS, which is up from last season’s .502. With a larger sample size, the outfielder has been able to settle in and find his place on the team.

Scott hit .259 in the month of April, but his average has decreased every month since. After hitting just .162 last month, his August average was back up to .200. However, the ankle injury will put a halt to his 2025 campaign.
Church joins the Cardinals’ lineup after hitting .329 in his 347 minor league at-bats this season. The 2022 11th round pick has played in A, AA, and AAA this season, making an impressive rise to the top after finishing in AA last season.

215 of his 347 at-bats have come in Memphis, the Cardinals’ Triple-A affiliate. Church has seven home runs and 30 RBIs at the AAA level. His plate discipline is second to none as he’s struck out 25 times but has drawn 24 walks.
After recording a .943 OPS in Double-A, Church has maintained that level of play in Memphis with a .921 OPS. Now, the 25-year-old will look to match those numbers in the big leagues.
