Gyorko went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Royals on Sunday. He was 5-for-13 with an RBI, a walk and three runs overall during the three-game sweep of Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile infielder enjoyed his opportunities against Royals pitching, although none of his hits were of the extra-base variety. It was nevertheless an encouraging three-game stretch for Gyorko, who's seen regular playing time throughout August thus far and sports an impressive .297 average and .381 on-base percentage over the first 42 plate appearances of the month.

Gyorko is not in the lineup against Miami on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko will take a seat after going 0-for-7 during the first two games of this series. Yairo Munoz will draw a start at third base in his stead.

Gyorko will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Pirates, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko was sidelined for about a week in late July with a viral illness, but he seems to have since settled back into a near-everyday role at third base. He'll draw his seventh start in eight games Sunday after going 8-for-23 with three extra-base hits during that stretch.

Gyorko went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in an extra-inning win over the Rockies on Monday. He's 3-for-8 overall in two games since returning from a multi-game absence due to illness.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko appears to be back to full health if Monday's effort is any indication. The versatile infielder was plagued by dizziness apparently related to some sort of virus for several days, but he's on his way to closing out a strong month of July (.295 average, three home runs, 10 RBI) in impressive fashion.

Gyorko (illness) will bat fifth and man the hot corner for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko had been dealing with an illness for the past week, but he appears good to go. He was penciled into the starting lineup after Jose Martinez (ankle) was a late scratch. Gyorko is 5-for-17 with a home run and two walks in his career against Sunday's starter, Kyle Hendricks.

Gyorko (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko has been battling a viral illness for more than a week, which has prevented him from entering the starting nine since July 20. Though the infielder received full medical clearance for baseball activities Saturday and made an appearance off the bench in the Cardinals' 6-2 win, interim manager Mike Shildt apparently isn't comfortable using Gyorko is a starting role just yet. His absence will pave the way for Martinez to stick in the lineup at first base.

Gyorko (illness) entered Saturday's win over the Cubs as a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth inning but did not log a plate appearance. He'd received medical clearance earlier for full activity earlier in the day, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko was limited to just two at-bats over the prior seven games due to a mysterious illness, but he was apparently given the green light Saturday. Now that he's apparently recovered, it remains to be seen if Gyorko reenters the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs.

Gyorko (illness) is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

There is no additional news to report besides Gyorko being withheld from the starting nine for the eighth straight game due to ongoing dizziness. Continue to consider him out indefinitely for the time being.

Gyorko (dizziness) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Considering he saw a doctor Thursday about the ongoing dizziness that has sidelined him since July 20, it would not be surprising if a stint on the disabled list were in the cards. Consider him out indefinitely.

Gyorko (illness) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's on the bench for a sixth straight game with the illness, the Cardinals have thus far resisted moving Gyorko to the 10-day disabled list. The fact that Gyorko came on as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's game suggests that he's nearing a return to full health, but his ongoing absence from the lineup will nonetheless allow Jose Martinez to continue picking up steady at-bats.
