    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Playing time looking uncertain

    Nolan Gorman's playing time could be reduced as a result of Victor Scott being named the St. Louis Cardinals' starting center fielder, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.With the club committing to Scott in center field, that means Lars Nootbaar will primarily play left field and Brendan Donovan will receive the bulk of his starts at second base. That leaves the designed hitter spot for Gorman, but it sounds like Alec Burleson will be the priority there. Gorman should still see some starts versus right-handed pitching, but he will not be in the lineup regularly. The 24-year-old finished with a .671 OPS and 37.6 percent strikeout rate last season and has a .553 OPS this spring.

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Back in lineup Sunday

    Nolan Gorman (illness) is starting at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's spring game against the Nationals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.Gorman has been battling an illness the past few days but will return to the lineup for the St. Louis Cardinals' final Grapefruit League game. He's expected to see regular at-bats against right-handed pitching this year, though he's struggled to a .585 OPS across 17 games during spring training.

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Sitting out with illness

    Nolan Gorman is not in either of the St. Louis Cardinals' split-squad lineups Friday due to illness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.Gorman will hope to return to action over the weekend before the Grapefruit League schedule runs out. The 24-year-old has had a rough spring, putting up a .585 OPS and 12:3 K:BB over 17 games. Even with his lackluster Grapefruit League showing, Gorman is expected to see regular starts against right-handed pitching this season.

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Struggling this spring

    Nolan Gorman is just 4-for-26 with a 9:1 K:BB over his first nine Grapefruit League contests this spring.Gorman worked with new hitting coach Brant Brown over the offseason on his plate discipline, but he has struggled to put those tips into action so far in camp. The St. Louis Cardinals have pledged to give the 24-year-old a long leash this season, so Gorman is expected to open the year with a regular role -- likely bouncing between second base and designated hitter -- regardless of how he performs this spring. Potential fantasy investors would still like to see him string together some hits, however.

    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: Absent from lineup

    Nolan Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.Gorman had started each of the last six games versus right-handers, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Reds go with a right-handed opening pitcher in Emilio Pagan and a right-handed bulk reliever in Carson Spiers. Brendan Donovan will handle second base for the St. Louis Cardinals.

    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.
