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: 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.
