Victor Scott II Fantasy Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Victor Scott II (ankle) from the 10-day injured list on Monday, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. However, Scott is not in the starting lineup for the series opener against the visiting Athletics at Busch Stadium, with rookie Nathan Church making another start in center field and hitting in the nine-hole. The 24-year-old Scott is back in the big leagues after missing the last few weeks with a sprained left ankle. The Cardinals could ease him back in to regular center field duties, but fantasy managers will be hoping that his ankle injury won't mean fewer stolen base attempts in the final month of the season. Scott is hitting only .223 (78-for-349) on the year with five home runs and 35 RBI, but his 31 stolen bases have made him useful in all fantasy formats.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II (ankle) is headed out on his rehab assignment this weekend after an extensive pregame workout went well on Wednesday. He will join Double-A Springfield on Thursday and play there on Friday, according to manager Oli Marmol. He was targeting a return in late August or early September, and he appears to remain on track for that timeframe. The 24-year-old speedster sprained his ankle on August 17, but an MRI revealed no structural damage, allowing him to return before the end of the year. He is hitting .223 on the season with a career-high 31 stolen bases in his 116 games. He is a solid source of cheap speed production and should return to an everyday role when he's healthy since the Cardinals view him as a big part of their future core. Monitor his return in mixed leagues, especially if you're in the market for stolen bases in the final month of the season.

The Athletic's Katie Woo reported Monday that St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II (ankle) is hitting and is hoping to progress to more routes later in the week. The 24-year-old defensive phenom was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 17 with a left ankle sprain. He is currently without a return timetable. Scott II served a key defensive role for the Cardinals and a key speed role for fantasy managers, slashing .223/.311/.312 with five home runs, 35 RBI, and 31 stolen bases in 402 plate appearances. Fantasy managers will need to wait for more news before knowing when they may be able to get his speed back in their lineups.

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Victor Scott II (ankle) on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and promoted outfielder Nathan Church from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. It's no surprise that Scott will miss time after injuring his ankle in a 12-8 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday. Scott had to exit a few innings after crashing into the center field wall while trying to take a home run away from Aaron Judge. The 24-year-old has been an asset in the field and on the bases (31 steals), but he has only managed a .223/.311/.312 line with five homers, 35 RBI, and 49 runs scored in 402 plate appearances this season. Church, 25, is making his major league debut Sunday and starting in Scott's place in center field.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II (ankle) sprained his left ankle and had to leave early on Saturday against the New York Yankees, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Scott suffered the injury trying to rob Aaron Judge of a home run in the third inning. He stayed in the game and played through the discomfort until the Cardinals replaced him with pinch-hitter Garrett Hampson in the sixth. Scott ended the night 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored, and the 24-year-old speedster is now hitting .223/.311/.312 with five homers, 35 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 31 stolen bases over 402 plate appearances. It's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on the 10-day injured list. UPDATE: Scott is undergoing an MRI exam, according to manager Oliver Marmol. If he cannot play on Sunday, the Cardinals will need to make a roster move.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is not in the team's lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Reds. Jose Herrera will man center field and bat ninth in Scott's place against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. The 23-year-old Scott has emerged as a productive regular in the Cardinals' lineup this season. He has already stolen 21 bases while batting .241/.331/.326 with three homers, 24 RBI, and 34 runs scored across 261 plate appearances.

With his team up 10-2 in the top of the ninth, the 24-year-old deposited a 370-foot two-run insurance bomb off position player Vinny Capra -- his third long ball of 2025 -- scoring teammate Pedro Pages. It was his first homer since Apr. 30. Scott II has improved from his first taste of big-league action in 2024, batting .241 with eight doubles, one triple, 24 RBI, 31 runs scored, and 19 steals through 68 games. He's had a rough go in June, though, slashing .158/.289/.237 in 14 appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is absent from the team's starting lineup for the series opener on Monday in Philadelphia against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Jose Barrero draws into the lineup in center field and will bat ninth against Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Scott will take a seat against a tough southpaw after he started each of the team's last nine games. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter has batted a strong .290/.357/.403 with two homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs and 11 steals in 142 plate appearances as St. Louis' starting center fielder this year, and he's gone 10-for-28 (.357) with a double, four RBI and a steal in nine games so far in May. Barrero will be a low-upside DFS sleeper out of the nine-hole for the Red Birds on Monday night. The 27-year-old Cuban is hitless in his two career at-bats against Sanchez.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds. Jose Barrero is drawing the start in center field for the Red Birds and will hit ninth against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. After playing both of the wins in the team's doubleheader on Wednesday in Cincy, Scott will get the day off to rest before a three-game weekend series against the New York Mets starts on Friday. As the team's starting center fielder, the 24-year-old has been productive through the first month, slashing .271/.336/.406 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 28 games played. DFS managers should be looking to stay away from Barrero in the nine-hole. He has appeared in two games for St. Louis but has yet to record a plate appearance.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is not in the starting lineup on Sunday as the Milwaukee Brewers send out veteran left-hander Jose Quintana in the series' finale.

Scott has gone 9-for-33 with two walks, four stolen bases, six runs scored, and three RBI over his last 10 games and is now slashing .264/.323/.379 on the season. Scott remains a viable outfielder in deeper league formats. Next up for Scott and the Cardinals is a four-game series on the road in Cincinnati to take on the Reds.
