[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1795076, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cardinals-notebook-tyler-oneill-races-more-or-less-to-get-ready-for-postseason/article_94540063-7919-5319-b199-1f86bb9df44c.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] Tyler O’Neill, out two weeks with a left hamstring strain, is racing the clock, in a sense, even when he isn’t running at full speed. The target for the Cardinals outfielder is to be fit enough to qualify for the roster for a playoff round which will begin here next Friday when the division champion Cardinals entertain a wild-card team in the start of a best-of-three series. O’Neill, who is on the injured list, began straight-line running on Wednesday and “ramped up the intensity” on Friday. “We’re still going to build that process from there,” said O’Neill. “I’m going to do my best to get ready for the postseason. That’s the most important thing on the table right now. “Keep my nose down. Keep my head down. And be ready for that,” the 27-year-old O’Neill said. This weekend, O’Neill will not be playing. Whether he plays next week in three games at Pittsburgh is doubtful, but manager Oliver Marmol said O’Neill doesn’t necessarily have to be in a game in order to be active next weekend. He said he wouldn’t play O’Neill in the field in the playoffs if he hadn’t played out there before then. But Marmol said that didn’t preclude O’Neill from being an offensive part of a postseason configuration. O’Neill is hopeful that he can do more agility running in the next couple of days, including running the bases, which would be one of the last steps. When the Cardinals clinched the National League Central Division title on Tuesday, O’Neill was watching on television — and missing it. But he said, “I would rather the boys clinch it sooner than later.” [/QUOTE]
