Gyorko (illness) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko will be on the bench for the fifth straight game. It's likely that this is injury-related, though there's no guarantee that he'd be the primary second baseman with Kolten Wong (knee) out. Yairo Munoz gets the nod in his place.

Gyorko (illness) is out of the lineup for the fourth straight game Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko missed both half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs due to illness, though he was able to appear Sunday off the bench. He's evidently still not ready to play a full game yet, as he's back on the bench Monday, with Matt Carpenter again sliding over to third base and Jose Martinez starting at first.

Gyorko (illness) entered Sunday's loss to the Cubs as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and went 1-for-2 with an infield single.
EDGE Analysis
The infielder hit for starter Miles Mikolas and remained in the game at third base. Gyorko's health evidently appears to be improving, so he could be available for a return to the starting lineup Monday.

Gyorko (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko didn't suit up for either end of Saturday's doubleheader while battling the illness, and it appears he's still feeling under the weather a day later. Matt Carpenter will shift over to third base to cover for Gyorko's absence, paving the way for Jose Martinez to pick up a start at first base.

Gyorko sat for both games of Saturday's doubleheader due to an illness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of what's afflicting him is unknown, so it's difficult to ascertain how long Gyorko may be out of action. Another update on his condition is likely to come Sunday.

Gyorko went 1-for-3 with an RBI from a bases-loaded walk, a double, two other walks and three runs in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko made his living on the bases in the blowout win, and he's now boosted his on-base percentage 38 points to .327 over the first eight games of July in which he's registered at least one at-bat. Moreover, the veteran infielder is hitting .400 during the current month, parlaying 12 hits into eight RBI in the process.

Gyorko went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple in a loss to the Giants on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko has opened July positively knocking the cover off the ball, going 9-for-22 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs and seven RBI over his first six games of the month. It's a dramatic departure from a lackluster June in which he hit slashed an anemic .159/.169/.270 and left the yard just once. Gyorko has been seeing steady playing time at the hot corner of late, a trend that should persist now that Matt Carpenter appears to have taken over primary first-base duties for Jose Martinez due to the latter's defensive liabilities.

Gyorko went 2-for-4 with two RBI from a solo home run and a run-scoring single in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko became the second Cardinal to take Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray deep in the sixth, following Yadier Molina's solo home run with one of his own. The 29-year-old has gotten July off to an encouraging start after a disappointing June in which he hit just .159, as he's gone 3-for-7 over the first two games of the new month. With Paul DeJong (hand) apparently ready for activation at some point during the coming four-game series against the Giants, it remains to be seen to what extent Gyorko's playing time will be affected. However, the fact he's able to fill in at multiple positions around the diamond figures to continue affording him at least semi-regular playing time.
