There is no definite timetable of return for Donovan, but the expectation is that <a href="https://twitter.com/jmjones/status/1686479399527366656" rel="noopener">he will be ready</a> to see action again by the 2024 Spring Training, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.</p><p>This is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-tommy-edman-brendan-donovan-injury-updates-mixed-bag" rel="noopener">another punch to the gut</a> for the Cardinals in an already disappointing campaign. They are currently in the cellar of the National League Central division with just a 47-60 record — over 10 games out of first place in the division’s standings. Before suffering his season-ending injury, Donovan was among the top performing Cardinals hitters, batting .281 with a .362 on-base percentage, and a .419 slugging percentage. He also hit 11 home runs with 34 RBIs across 371 plate appearances and 95 games played.</p><p>The hope for the Cardinals is that Donovan will be able to beat initial estimates of his return, but in any case, they will take a careful approach to the 26-year-old. St. Louis has Donovan under team control for years to come as he is still in the pre-arbitration years.</p><p>With Donovan — taken by the Cardinals in the seventh round of the 2018 draft — out of the lineup for the remainder of the season, Nolan Gorman can be expected to cover the void in the designated hitter spot.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Throughout this unusual and unfortunate 38-52 campaign there have been silver linings that gave hope a turnaround was coming.</p><p>A once weak National league Central is now a heated race between two solid teams and is 11 games out of reach. The optimism that accompanied a returning Adam Wainwright only faded into the atmosphere as he struggled profusely and then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-adam-wainwrights-role-return-injury-shaky-update" rel="noopener">headed back to the injury list</a>. Nolan Arenado has been one of the best hitters in the league since a slow start in April. It has done nothing to compensate for all of the other holes or bad breaks.</p><p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/katiejwoo/status/1680254193054130181" rel="noopener">latest injury updates</a> on St. Louis’ two trusted utility men does not exactly look like the long-awaited dose of positivity, either. “Tommy Edman (wrist) will need more than the minimum time on the IL stint,” The Athletic’s Katie Woo reported. “He received an injection, so he’s no swing for a few days. Brendan Donovan will continue his throwing program and DH and the hope remains he avoids the IL.”‘</p><p>Losing Edman for an extended period of time is a considerable blow to the clubhouse, based on the defensive versatility and contact prowess he can provide when at his best. Donovan’s status (arm injury) is at least somewhat encouraging, as he remains in the lineup for the Cardinals’ series with the Washington Nationals. The 26-year-old is hitting .284 with nine home runs this season.<br></p><p>While there are<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-st-louis-tyler-oneill-injury-update-trade-deadline" rel="noopener"> reasons for fans to smile</a>, no amount of luck or momentum is likely to make a big enough difference in the standings. The glass-half-full mentality does not work when there is nothing left in the glass.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
