Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Set to be sidelined for several weeks
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Friday that Jordan is expected to miss "several weeks" due to a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Marmol stopped short of saying that Jordan would miss the rest of the year, but it looks like the 23-year-old third baseman will be shelved until at least the final week or so of the regular season. Nolan Gorman and Thomas Saggese should both see some reps at the hot corner for as long as Jordan is on the IL.

Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Leaves game with ankle injury
Rotowire
Jordan was removed from Thursday's game versus the Orioles in the eighth inning with a left ankle injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Jordan's ankle got twisted underneath him as he made an awkward tag at third base. He required assistance to exit the field, so it could be an issue that requires a trip to the injured list. Jordan went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run Thursday before exiting.

The Cardinals will leave Jordan on the bench for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Kyle Bradish).

The Cardinals had previously been using Jordan primarily against lefties, but the rookie has now cracked the lineup in three straight matchups versus righties. Manager Oliver Marmol appears to be giving Jordan another look as an everyday player at the hot corner, with Jose Fermin moving back into more of a utility role as a result.

Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Drives in three runs Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Jordan opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the third inning before adding a two-run single in the fifth frame. Sunday's performance marked the rookie's second three-hit effort of the season, with his first coming July 3 against the Cubs. He was deployed as the everyday third baseman upon being promoted June 12 but has ceded playing time to Jose Fermin at the hot corner recently. In 88 plate appearances, Jordan is slashing .259/.273/.395 with seven extra-base hits (one homer), 17 RBI and nine runs scored.
