Tyler O'Neill Dealing With Mid-Back Tightness
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) was not available on Tuesday due to mid-back tightness, according to manager Mike Shildt. The 26-year-old was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup and was replaced by outfielder Lars Nootbaar. O'Neill will undergo testing and treatment tomorrow, but it is unclear if the injury will require a stint on the injured list. For now, O'Neill should be considered day-to-day with Nootbaar as the likely replacement in left field. Nootbaar has hit three homers, nine RBI, and eight runs scored with a .262/.333/.475 line across 61 at-bats
