Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Will see significant playing time
St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak has said the team would like to see Nolan Gorman receive close to 600 at-bats next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.Gorman spent the final five-plus weeks of the 2024 season in the minors and finished with a .671 OPS and 37.6 percent strikeout rate. However, the Cardinals are committed to giving their younger players a long leash in 2025 and Gorman will be one of the beneficiaries. What position Gorman plays is not yet clear. He's seen most of his starts at the major-league level at second base and could play there, but moving back to his natural third base position is also an option if the Cardinals trade Nolan Arenado.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Sent to Triple-A
The St. Louis Cardinals optioned Nolan Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.Gorman's strikeout rate on the season ballooned to 37.6 percent after he went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Strikeouts are nothing new for Gorman, but this season, they haven't been accompanied by much production, with the 24-year-old's OPS cratering to .671 after an .805 mark in 2023. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan should see most of his playing time at second base moving forward.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Back on bench vs. lefty
Nolan Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.The lefty-hitting Gorman had started in each of the St. Louis Cardinals' last five games, but he'll head back to the bench Monday with the Reds sending southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill. The Cardinals should continue to frequently shield Gorman from lefties, but after he went 5-for-14 with two doubles over his last four starts, the 24-year-old might have recaptured at least a part-time role against right-handed pitching.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Posts three hits in loss
Nolan Gorman went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Royals.Gorman was the only Cardinal with multiple hits Saturday, but they were all singles. He lost his grip on a starting role to begin August, but he's bounced back to feature in the lineup in five straight games, including once against a left-handed pitcher. Gorman has gone 6-for-18 in that five-game span, though he's still struck out five times. The second baseman is at a .206/.276/.410 slash line with 19 home runs, 50 RBI, 42 runs scored, six stolen bases and 15 doubles over 104 contests.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Absent from starting nine again
Nolan Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.For the fifth time in six games, the lefty-hitting Gorman will head to the bench. Though his absence from the lineup against Mets lefty Sean Manaea isn't particularly surprising, the lefty-hitting Gorman looks to be at risk of losing out on starts against righties following the trade-deadline addition of Tommy Pham. With Pham picking up starts in the outfield in both of St. Louis' last two matchups with righties, Gorman was included in the lineup for one of those contests and ceded second base to Brendan Donovan in the other game.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Idle against righty
Nolan Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.After he was on the bench against left-handers in three of the past four games, the lefty-hitting Gorman will hit the bench versus a righty (Nathan Eovaldi) on Monday. According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Gorman doesn't appear to have lost hold of a regular spot in the lineup against right-handers, as manager Carlos Marmol said Gorman is on the bench Monday because he wanted to open up a start at designated hitter for Matt Carpenter, who has had success against Eovaldi during his career.
