Injuries Mount as Cardinals Push On | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals ended August on a sour note with just two wins in six games, losing series to the Orioles and Pirates—but some players shined through the chaos. A wave of injuries hit hard, sidelining key pitchers Andre Pallante and Hunter Dobbins, plus Masyn Winn, Blaze Jordan, and JJ Wetherholt, making their playoff push even tougher. Still, Alec Burleson smashed his 100th RBI this season—a rare feat for a Cardinal since 2022—and now ties for second in MLB with 100 RBIs, joining elite company as the fourth lefty in team history to reach that mark with 21 homers and a high OPS. Pitcher Quinn Mathews seized his moment, delivering a strong start: five innings, one run, seven strikeouts, and fewer walks than before. With a grueling nine-game road trip ahead—including a showdown with the Dodgers—Mathews and the rest of the bullpen will be vital as the Cards navigate a depleted roster.
