In a recent development, the St. Louis Cardinals have received encouraging news regarding the injuries of three of their top players. This update comes as a relief to both the team and their fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the return of these key players.
The first player to receive a positive update is outfielder Harrison Bader, who has been out of action since August 24th due to a hairline fracture in his rib. Bader has been making progress in his recovery and is expected to return to the lineup in the near future.
Another player on the mend is pitcher Carlos Martinez, who has been sidelined since July 30th with a strained right shoulder. After undergoing a successful bullpen session, Martinez is now set to begin a rehab assignment and could potentially rejoin the team in the coming weeks.
And finally, the Cardinals received good news on the status of catcher Yadier Molina, who has been dealing with a strained tendon in his right thumb. Molina has been cleared to resume baseball activities and is on track to return to the lineup in the near future.
These updates are a much-needed boost for the Cardinals, who have been battling injuries throughout the season. With the playoffs just around the corner, having these key players back in action will be crucial for the team’s success.

Cardinals Receive Injury Updates on Key Players: Donovan, Scott, and Arenado
The St. Louis Cardinals are facing a crucial week in the MLB regular season as they strive to keep their postseason hopes alive. After a thrilling walk-off home run by Alec Burleson against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cardinals are still fighting for a spot in the NL Wild Card.
However, their chances of winning the NL Central title are slim, with the Milwaukee Brewers holding a 17-game lead. The Cardinals’ best chance is to secure the final spot in the NL Wild Card, currently held by the New York Mets, with a 5.5 game difference between the two teams.
Injury Updates for Key Bats
Before their divisional series against the Pirates on Monday, The Athletic’s Katie Woo provided updates on the injuries of several top players on the Cardinals’ roster.
According to Woo, Brendan Donovan is making progress and has started hitting off the tee. Victor Scott II is also hitting and hopes to increase his activity later in the week. Meanwhile, Nolan Arenado has started a hitting program and is expected to begin a throwing program this week. However, there is no set timeline for the return of any of these players.
Key Players on the Injured List
Brendan Donovan has been out of the lineup since Aug. 13 due to a left groin strain. The Cardinals’ lone All-Star will hopefully return to the field this week or early next week.
Victor Scott II suffered a sprained left ankle in the Cardinals’ loss to the New York Yankees on Aug. 16, just days after Donovan’s injury. He is expected to return before the end of the month.
Nolan Arenado, who was acquired by the Cardinals before the MLB trade deadline, has been on the injured list since the beginning of August due to a right shoulder strain. The eight-time All-Star has yet to receive a timeline for his return, but it is believed that he will go through a rehab assignment in the minor leagues, according to MLB.com’s Santos Perez.
