St. Louis Cardinals utility defender Brendan Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a ligament in his throwing arm, which is not Tommy John surgery. Donovan had been limited to DH at-bats since July 5 due to discomfort in his arm. His absence will impact the Cardinals' lineup, as players like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado will have fewer opportunities for partial days off by moving into the DH spot. Tommy Edman will replace Donovan at shortstop, while Nolan Gorman is expected to play at second base. Top prospect Masyn Winn may make his major-league debut at some point in 2023.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery for a flexor tendon injury in his throwing arm. Donovan, who made an impressive debut last season, won a Gold Glove award and finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Despite a slight dip in performance this season, he remained an above-average regular. The loss of Donovan adds to the Cardinals' recent trades and impacts their competitiveness.
