BIRD BYTES Good afternoon! * Earlier today I looked at the injury accounting that Spotrac does so well so I could provide an update on outfielder Tyler O’Neill’s injury history: 2018: missed 22 days (groin.) 2019: missed 41 days (wrist, elbow.) 2021: missed 24 days...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After starting pitcher Miles Mikolas brilliantly sheltered them from harm in a 2-1 victory over the Royals, the Cardinals have two days off and a lot to think about. Regrouping and mobilizing after an atrocious 10-24 start, the Cardinals won 15 of...
