Stephen Piscotty (groin) not expected back Tuesday for Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty's groin injury is lingering longer than initially planned, manager John Mozeliak admitted Sunday.
What It Means:
Piscotty was originally expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday when he was first eligible, but that no longer appears to be the case. The 26-year-old outfielder will be re-evaluated early in the week. He batted just .171 (6-for-35) with 11 strikeouts in 10 games this month before landing on the DL on July 15, so perhaps those struggles were injury-related.
For the season, Piscotty owns a .236/.348/.371 slash with 6 homers and 31 RBI in 273 plate appearances (69 games). numberFire's models project him to post a .258 average, with 4 home runs and 19 RBI over 183 remaining plate appearances in 2017.
