Cardinals Place Dexter Fowler On Injured List

By Connor Byrne | September 2, 2020 at 4:07pm CDT

The Cardinals have placed outfielder Dexter Fowler on the injured list, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Fowler’s dealing with a stomach illness, so the club put him on the shelf as a precautionary measure because he’s taking medicine that could lower his immune system. He’ll miss a couple weeks, writes Goold, who adds that the Cardinals replaced Fowler with infielder Rangel Ravelo on their roster.

Fowler, who’s in his fourth season as a Cardinal, has been a a valuable part of their offense so far in 2020. The switch-hitting 34-year-old has taken 75 trips to the plate and slashed .279/.347/.485 with four home runs, all while getting the lion’s share of work in right field for a St. Louis team that’s 14-13 and in possession of the second wild-card spot in the National League.

Fowler aside, Tyler O’Neill and Harrison Bader are the only Cardinals outfielders who have appeared in double-digit games in the grass thus far. Fowler has been the most effective hitter of any of their outfielders, though, and fellow right field option Dylan Carlson has posted brutal production across the first 73 plate appearances of his career.

    good lord, what else needs to happen for them to give Justin Williams a shot. We all know what Ravelo can do and he is not an outfielder which is what they need so I dont understand this move

      Maybe not punch a TV in a domestic argument and cost him half of last season, have a better showing in spring and summer training this year. He was only acquired for depth anyway to get rid of Pham’s disruptive attitude. Carlson, Thomas, Bader, O’Neill are all better and I’m not even a O’Neill believer at all. I trust Bader more than him.

        I would agree with you if Bader, O’Neill, and Thomas were getting the job done. but to say someone is better than someone else and then the others you say are better are all hitting under .200, they do not deserve to be in the lineup and someone else should get a shot to show what they can do. normal season I might say lets ride it out, but in a 60 game season you dont have time to wait

          I’m not saying Williams shouldn’t get a shot but you can’t include Thomas on your list considering he just got back from COVID and barely played before that…I know Carlson isn’t doing great but he still comes before Williams in playing time imo

      If the Cardinals had a good GM, a bettwr scouting departmemt, and new Owners.. The Cardinals wouldn’t be in this trouble.

      The cardinals would have CF Luis Robest playing center field, leading off!! Or maybe Tatis Jr leading off and Robert batting second!! Mozalik had a chance to sign Robert and Trade for Tatis Jr!! Tatis Jr was quoted numerous times he wanted to “play in St Louis like my dad”
      The Robert situation though is the one that makes me angry!! When he was 17-18 years old living in Cuba, the first time I saw video of him hitting, stealing homeplate, making diving catches.. Looking like BO JACKSON!! I said the Cardinals have to sign this kid from Cuba.. The big spenders.. Yankees Red Sox Cubs Dodgers Angels Braves Giants were all over the limit on their international money.. Perfect time for the Cardinals.. But Mo and the Cardinals organization were to cheap like usually!! Robert looks exactly like a Mike Trout

    Seems like Dexter Fowler has been around forever and still just 34?

    odds they use carpenter as an outfielder, since they “believe” he’s just an at bat away from breaking out.
    how long are we going to here that?

    Man I sure wish Randy Arozerena would be in the conversation. That dude stole home, could hit, play the field we got plenty of pitching I will never understand why… Oh wait social media

      And the fact that they got a future ace out of him. So there’s that.
