St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) was not available for Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Padres due to lower back stiffness, per beat writer Jeff Jones. Gorman experienced similar stiffness in the spring, but has seen regular playing time of late and has slashed an impressive .387/.472/.677 in his first 10 games with the Cardinals. It sounds as though he is day-to-day at this time. This is good news for fantasy managers, as the 22-year-old prospect already seems like he can be an impact fantasy player in what has been a relatively weak position to this point.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman is expected to be given more playing time for the time being. Gorman played the hero during their victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday evening when he hit a three-run double. As a result, the team will reward him with more opportunities, especially with Brandon Donovan (rib) sidelined. Gorman was batting third and covering second base during Wednesday's contest against the Braves. After holding a modest .217/.321/.435 slash line with two doubles and one home run over his first eight games of the campaign, Gorman has tallied at least one hit in each of his previous three games, entering Wednesday's contest. Under the hood, he has generated an impressive .370 xwOBA, which suggests he could continue to see steady positive regression. If he continues to play well, he could even take reps at DH when Donovan returns to action.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (hamstring) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals placed shortstop Masyn Winn (back) on the 10-day injured list. Gorman has been sidelined since early April with this injury. Through his first five games of the campaign, the second baseman tallied four hits with one double and a home run. He held a 1:1 BB:K. Gorman is not in Saturday's starting lineup as the Cardinals are facing a southpaw in Cristopher Sanchez. However, fantasy managers should expect Gorman to see playing against right-handed pitching. Last summer, the 24-year-old struggled as he held a .203/.271/.400 slash line. He is worth a look as a power target in deeper 15+ team formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Friday that they placed infielder Nolan Gorman (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 2) with a right-hamstring strain. Infield prospect Thomas Saggese has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Although Gorman was hitting .500 (4-for-8) in the early going with a home run, the 24-year-old had started just two of the team's first five games of the year at second base before injuring his hamstring this week. It's unclear if Gorman's injury will keep him out beyond 10 days, but he'll be eligible to return to the Cardinals next Saturday, April 12. In the meantime, expect Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson to split time at the keystone in St. Louis. Saggese, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will most likely serve as a backup infielder off the bench while Gorman recovers. UPDATE: Gorman said his hamstring injury is "super mild." He will stay with the club on their road trip to work on strengthening/rehabbing his right leg and doesn't expect to need a minor-league rehab assignment before coming off the IL.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (illness) is out of the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Friday due to an illness, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Hopefully, Gorman will be feeling good enough in a day or two to get his final spring at-bats in before starting the regular season next Thursday. Heading into Friday's games, the 24-year-old infielder is hitting just .196 (9-for-46) with a homer, three doubles, two RBI, and 12 strikeouts in 16 Grapefruit League contests. Still, Gorman is fully expected to be the Cardinals' primary second baseman in 2025, at least on the strong side of a platoon against right-handed pitching. It was a rough 2024 campaign for Gorman, as he hit just .203/.271/.400 with 19 home runs, 50 RBI, six stolen bases and a 37.6% strikeout rate in 107 games. He was optioned to the minors in August and never returned to the big leagues. He still has power, but he's merely a middle-infield option in deep-mixed fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
