EDGE Analysis

Gyorko has been sidelined since the end of August with a groin injury. He was able to take swings in the cage Monday and do some agility drill Tuesday, suggesting he's on the cusp of a return. Once Gyorko is active, he should reclaim his role as the team's starting third baseman, pushing Matt Carpenter back to first base and Matt Adams to a reserve role.
