Player Outlook
Nolan Gorman was the player most impacted by the Cardinals' inability to trade Nolan Arenado last offseason. Instead of taking over as the team's everyday third baseman, Gorman saw inconsistent playing time again while bouncing between second base, third base and designated hitter. Of course, the 25-year-old didn't do himself any favors with a second straight disappointing season at the plate. Gorman did get his walk rate back up to 11.7 percent, but his strikeout rate remained bloated at 33.8 percent, and he saw his barrel rate drop from 16.7 percent to 9.1 percent. A path to regular at-bats was cleared after St. Louis finally traded Arenado over the winter, but Gorman is heading in the wrong direction.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Should still win third base job

    Rotowire
    Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Saturday after the signing of Ramon Urias that the roster addition wouldn't "get in the way, substantively, for the opportunities for (Gorman)," Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The 25-year-old infielder is in line to be the team's primary third baseman in 2026, and that won't change even after Urias was brought aboard. Urias does offer a short-side platoon partner for the lefty-swinging Gorman and is also a superior defender, so he'll get reps versus lefties and could handle third base while Gorman is used at designated hitter. Gorman is looking to bounce back from a two-year drought at the plate, having slashed just .204/.284/.385 with a 35.7 percent strikeout rate over that stretch.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Will get 'plenty of opportunity'

    Rotowire
    Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Tuesday that Gorman "should have plenty of opportunity this year," Brandon Kiley of 101 ESPN St. Louis reports. Bloom didn't explicitly say it, but the expectation is that Gorman will take over as the team's primary third baseman in 2026 for the departed Nolan Arenado. After a mini-breakout in 2023 that saw him crank 27 home runs, Gorman has slashed just .204/.284/.385 with a 35.7 percent strikeout rate over the last two seasons. He's still just 25, however, and the rebuilding Cardinals aren't ready to give up on his power potential.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Avoids arbitration with Cardinals

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals and Gorman avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.655 million contract Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. It was Gorman's first year of arbitration eligibility. The 25-year-old has regressed at the dish over the last two seasons, finishing 2025 with a .666 OPS, 14 home runs and a 33.8 percent strikeout rate in 111 games. The left-handed-hitting Gorman could get another opportunity for regular at-bats versus right-handed pitching in 2026, though his playing time outlook would diminish if the Cardinals are unable to trade Nolan Arenado.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Could get some looks at first base

    Rotowire
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Gorman could "potentially" see some start at first base following the season-ending injury to Willson Contreras (shoulder), Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Alec Burleson will be the team's primary first baseman down the stretch, but Gorman might also see some action there on days when Burleson plays the outfield. Gorman's playing-time outlook took a hit with the returns of Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado from the injured list, but Gorman now has another avenue to playing time, albeit a narrow one.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Sitting in Arenado's return

    Rotowire
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Gorman had started in each of the Cardinals' last 29 games, but he could be headed for a steep reduction in playing time over the final two weeks of the regular season after St. Louis reinstated Nolan Arenado (shoulder) from the injured list Monday. With Arenado immediately slotting back into the lineup at his usual post at third base and with Willson Contreras (undisclosed) back in action Monday following a one-game hiatus, St. Louis now has its top options at the corner-infield spots available for the first time since late July.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Homers among three hits

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win against the Athletics on Wednesday. Gorman singled in his first two plate appearances before launching a 381-foot solo homer in the seventh inning. The infielder snapped an 11-game stretch without a multi-hit performance, and he had batted a paltry .135 (5-for-37) during that span. Gorman isn't lighting the world on fire with a .726 OPS on the campaign, but he has offered a bit of pop with 14 homers and 44 RBI across 338 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Swats two-run homer

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. Gorman had one of just three hits for the Cardinals on the evening. Gorman's now driven in four runs over his last three games and has hit safely in five straight while reaching base safely 10 times over that span, registering a 4:4 BB:K.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Breaks game open with homer

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Marlins. Gorman waited until the ninth inning to notch his first hit, but he made it count with a two-run blast off Josh Simpson that put the game out of reach. Filling in regularly at third base with Nolan Arenado (shoulder) sidelined, Gorman has held his own in August, slashing .250/.365/.477 with a double, three homers and nine RBI across 14 games.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Launches 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-6 loss to the Dodgers. Gorman's blast in the second inning tied the game at 2-2. He's hit safely in all four of his games since returning from a back injury that landed him on the injured list for a brief stay. He's up to 10 homers on the year while slashing .227/.311/.417 across 70 contests. Despite the middling power production, the infielder is trending in the right direction and has a clear path to playing time while Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is out.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Not in Monday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers. Gorman was a late insertion into the Cardinals' lineup Sunday in San Diego in place of Brendan Donovan (personal), marking his third straight start at the hot corner since Nolan Arenado (shoulder) was shelved. Thomas Saggese will start at third base and bat seventh Monday.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Reinstated from injured list

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals reinstated Gorman (back) from the injured list Friday. Gorman landed on the injured list July 19 with pain in his lower back, but he's been given the green light to return to St. Louis after going 3-for-13 with a homer during his rehab assignment in Double-A. With Nolan Arenado (shoulder) moving to the IL in a corresponding move, Gorman figures to step in as the Cardinals' third baseman for the short-term future.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Set to return Friday

    Rotowire
    Gorman (back) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. The 25-year-old went 3-for-13 with a double and a homer during his three-game rehab assignment, clearing the way for him to rejoin the Cardinals after recovering from lower-back pain. Gorman could be a regular presence in the lineup since the corresponding transaction will be Nolan Arenado (shoulder) heading to the IL.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Gorman (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Gorman's back responded well to a pain-killing injection, and he has been cleared for rehab games. The infielder has been sidelined for just under two weeks, so he could be ready to rejoin the Cardinals' active roster later this week. What Gorman's role looks like upon his return might depend on what additions and subtractions the Cardinals make to their roster ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Could start rehab assignment soon

    Rotowire
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Gorman (back) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Gorman was placed on the 10-day injured list last weekend with a lower-back injury that first cropped up before the All-Star break. He was given a pain-killing injection Monday and has evidently responded well enough that he could be cleared for game action shortly. Because Gorman has not missed much time, his rehab assignment should be relatively brief, setting him up for an early-August return.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: In lineup Friday

    Rotowire
    Gorman (back) is batting fifth and playing second base Friday against Arizona. Gorman dealt with lower-back pain before the All-Star break, but he's been cleared to rejoin the lineup Friday. He is slashing .219/.310/.408 in 226 plate appearances in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Nursing back issue

    Rotowire
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus Atlanta due to lower-back pain, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Gorman could be available off the bench, though with the All-Star break looming, the Cardinals may prefer to stay away from him Sunday. Ivan Herrera (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will enter the lineup at designated hitter in place of Gorman, who had started each of the last three games while going 3-for-10 with a home run and two walks. Though Herrera projects to serve as St. Louis' primary DH in the second half, Gorman could still see action at second base against right-handed pitching, while Brendan Donovan covers left field in place of the injured Lars Nootbaar (rib).

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Exiting lineup Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals. The left-handed-hitting Gorman had been getting more opportunities against lefties lately, but he'll take a seat for the Cardinals' second consecutive matchup with a southpaw while MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for Washington. Yohel Pozo will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and will bat sixth.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Smacks seventh homer

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians. Gorman got the scoring started early, launching a 428-foot homer with two outs in the first inning off lefty Logan Allen. The 25-year-old Gorman has taken advantage of a regular starting role since Ivan Herrera (hamstring) landed on the IL, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three homers, seven RBI and a .951 OPS in his last seven games. Overall, Gorman's slashing .224/.314/.412 with seven homers, 25 runs scored and 25 RBI across 191 plate appearances this season.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Another start against lefty

    Rotowire
    Gorman will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Thursday's game versus the Cubs. It's the second day in a row that Gorman has started against a left-handed pitcher, and he's been in the lineup 15 times across the Cardinals' last 17 contests. The 25-year-old has posted a .919 OPS with four home runs and 10 RBI over that stretch.

  • Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Caps team barrage of two-run homers

    Rotowire
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday in an 8-2 win over the Cubs. St. Louis exploded for four two-run homers across the fourth and sixth innings, and Gorman's blast was the final of that onslaught. It was just the fifth long ball of the campaign for Gorman, who hit at least 14 homers in each of his first three big-league seasons. Though Gorman doesn't have an everyday role at any position, he's been in the lineup consistently of late, starting five of the Cardinals' past six games at either second base, third base or DH.
