Nolan Gorman

Gorman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Phillies. Gorman's first-inning blast was the second of four consecutive home runs for the Cardinals. It was Gorman's first home run since a two-homer game June 21. The second baseman has seven on the season and is slashing .256/.328/.471 after Saturday's performance.

Gorman (hand) is starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Gorman was out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to a hand injury, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Friday and went 0-for-1. He'll start at the keystone and bat fifth during Saturday's matchup.

Gorman (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. Gorman will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a hand injury, but he told John Denton of MLB.com that he has no limitations moving forward. Albert Pujols is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in the series opener Friday.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a sore left hand, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. The lefty-hitting Gorman was on the bench for Tuesday's win while lefty Braxton Garrett was on the hill for Miami, but the hand injury explains why the rookie is out of the lineup Wednesday against a righty (Sandy Alcantara). According to Jones, Gorman initially picked up the injury in Monday's 9-0 loss, when he fouled a ball off the bottom of the hand. He was able to field grounders and take swings Wednesday, and with the benefit of a team off day Thursday, Gorman could be ready to play this weekend in Philadelphia. Brendan Donovan will replace Gorman at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale.

Gorman will be on the bench Tuesday against lefty Braxton Garrett and the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. Gorman has made just a single start against a southpaw since he was called up in late May. The strict platoon usage seems to be working out, as Gorman is hitting .254/.313/.449 (good for a 117 wRC+) in 35 games, so he'll likely remain in a platoon role for now. Tommy Edman slides to second base in his absence while Edmundo Sosa starts at shortstop.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie second baseman Nolan Gorman had his signature moment against the division rival Milwaukee Brewers. For years, Nolan Gorman has been lauded as a prominent part of the St. Louis Cardinals infield picture. It was just a matter of where that would be defensively, as the Nolan Arenado addition gave them their short-term (and potentially long-term) answer at third base.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Let's make that three games in a row now for Pirates SS and phenom prospect Oneil Cruz in the RBI department. He's had at least one in every game in four in one of them. Cruz has been every bit as advertised since being called up and he's one of now several new hopes to buck the trend of early struggles for top prospects on the hitter side. Remember last year when essentially Wander Franco was the only top prospect call up who went off as we watched the Jarred Kelenics of the world struggle to reach the Mendoza line? Cruz wants no part of that group.

When the injuries began to pile up for the St. Louis Cardinals, they turned to Triple-A and chose to bring up a highly touted prospect, who had been hitting well in the minors and proving that there was nothing left he could do there. The prospect in question was Nolan...

MILWAUKEE — Nolan Gorman did something on Tuesday night in Milwaukee that not even Albert Pujols or Stan Musial can claim in their rookie years with the Cardinals. In fact, the young slugger's feat was the first time it had been done by a rookie in Cardinals history. According...

Gorman went 4-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in a 6-2 win Tuesday in Milwaukee. Gorman drove in a run on a single in the first, blasted solo shots in the fourth and the seventh and ended his night with a run-scoring single in the ninth. It was his first two-homer game as a big leaguer and the second time he recorded four hits. The 22-year-old slugger has 21 homers in 250 plate appearances combined between Triple-A and the majors.

There’s talk about the St. Louis Cardinals optioning Nolan Gorman to Triple-A. Here’s why I wouldn’t do that — at least not yet. I want to make one thing clear: I would not option Nolan Gorman back to the minors if I was running the St. Louis Cardinals. At least not yet.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Boston, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. Gorman will take a seat for the series finale while Brendan Donovan slides in at second base and while Albert Pujols serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter. Gorman started in each of St. Louis' last nine games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs during that stretch.

The St. Louis Cardinals bet on themselves this offseason and decided to ride the young bats coming into 2022. Needless to say, they were right to do so. Throughout the 2022 offseason, there was noise both from national media and local following of the St. Louis Cardinals for the club to acquire some impact bats to add to their lineup. Whether it was in the form of a big name shortstop to replace Paul DeJong, or a left handed DH option to give the Cardinals power from the left side, fans and media alike were pretty universal in the call for additions.

Gorman is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
