25 Dexter Fowler RF

Fowler, who went 2-for-4 in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday, is hitting .333 (11-for-33) across his first nine games of July.

The veteran outfielder saw the All-Star break arrive at a seemingly inopportune time, considering he'd gone 8-for-18 with a double, a triple, two home runs, five RBI, two walks and six runs over the first five games of July. However, the good news is that Fowler has been reasonably productive since the resumption of play. He sandwiched a pair of 0-for-4 performances around the layoff, but he went a combined 3-for-7 in the final two games of the three-game weekend set against the Diamondbacks. Fowler has already boosted his average 12 points to .255 during July, following a pair of sluggish months in May and June during which he hit .203 overall.

Fowler went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Giants.

Fowler did his damage against the Giants' bullpen, singling and scoring in fifth inning before lacing a triple in the seventh and swatting a solo shot in the ninth. The big night lifts Fowler's line to .254/.360/.435 with 10 homers, 32 RBI and 33 runs scored in 78 games. The triple was the first one of the season for the outfielder.

Fowler went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs overall in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.

Fowler squared up on a Tommy Milone offering in the fourth inning for his ninth round tripper of the campaign. The veteran outfielder pushed his on-base percentage to a solid .356 by reaching safely on three more occasions Thursday. A pivotal factor in Fowler improving that figure by 78 points over last season has been his patience, as his average of 4.19 pitches per plate appearance equals the second highest of his career. Factoring in Thursday's production, Fowler now has a six-game on-base streak overall.

Fowler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Fowler has one hit in each of his last four games but overall has struggled in June with a .235/.264/.426 slash line. Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader and Jose Martinez will start in the outfield from left to right Sunday.

Fowler is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Angels.

Fowler went 0-for-3 in Saturday's game and will head to the bench for the third time in the last four contests. The 33-year-old has struggled in June with a .211/.233/.439 slash line and four homers in 20 games. Jose Martinez garners another start in right field in his stead.

Fowler remains on the bench Friday against the Angels, FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Fowler sits for the second straight contest, with Jose Martinez starting in right field on both occasions. Fowler's .753 OPS on the season is a near match for Martinez's .755, which doesn't appear to give a good reason for a switch in the depth chart, though the former is hitting just .171/.229/.342 over his last 25 games.

Fowler is not in the lineup Thursday against the Marlins.

Fowler will give way to Jose Martinez in right field for Thursday's series finale after starting the past six games. In 17 appearances since the start of June, Fowler is slashing .231/.255/.481 with four home runs, 13 RBI and one stolen base.

Fowler went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's 5-0 win over Miami.

Fowler's eighth-inning blast gave the Cardinals a 5-0 lead to really put the game away. It was his eighth home run of the year, matching his 2018 total in nearly 100 fewer at-bats. The 33-year-old has already hit four in June and three in the last four contests.

Fowler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Mets.

Fowler followed up Friday's three-run homer with the solo shot Saturday to give the Cardinals an early 1-0 advantage, though the lead was quickly relinquished. The 33-year-old started June with a .599 OPS through 11 games, but over the last two nights he is 3-for-7 with two homers, a double, six RBI and three runs scored.

Fowler went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a second run scored and a walk in a 9-5 victory against the Mets on Friday.

This was Fowler's first homer since June 1, and for him this season, that's actually a bit of a power surge. He only had one long ball in April and three in May. His numbers are better than they were in 2018, but considering how bad they were last season, that's not saying much. Now in his second season with the Cardinals, St. Louis is still waiting for Fowler to fulfill his potential. He is batting .243 with six home runs, 19 RBI, 25 runs and four steals in 181 at-bats this season.

Fowler is not in Thursday's lineup against the Mets.

He is hitting .222 with one home run in 10 games this month. Jose Martinez and Harrison Bader start in the outfield alongside Marcell Ozuna in this one.

Fowler went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Fowler broke out of a 2-for-16 funk that had encompassed his previous six games with Tuesday's multi-hit effort, his second of June. The veteran outfielder's .247/.367/.385 line is markedly better than the career-worst production he generated last season, but Fowler was performing at an even higher level until mid-May. He's subsequently seen a considerable offensive downturn, slashing just .159/.284/.319 across 82 plate appearances over his last 22 games.

Fowler is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.

Fowler is slashing just .211/.211/.368 with a 40 percent strikeout rate in seven games this month. As such, he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in three games as Jose Martinez draws another start in right field.

Fowler is not in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Fowler sits for the third time in the last eight games. He owns a .132/.214/.211 slash line over his last 12 contests. Jose Martinez gets the call in right field.

Fowler is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Fowler will take a seat on the bench after going 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's victory. Southpaw Cole Hamels will pitch for the Cubs while Jose Martinez grabs the start in right field.

Fowler went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.

He went back-to-back with Harrison Bader in the eighth inning to help put the game away for the Cards. Fowler's roller-coaster season had been hurtling downhill again to close out May, as he went 1-for-23 over the final seven games of the month, but he snapped the mini-slump emphatically to kick off June. Overall, the veteran outfielder's .253/.382/.403 slash line through 50 games isn't bad, especially in fantasy formats that use OBP, but Fowler's production has been a bit lacking -- he has five homers, three steals, 15 RBI and 22 runs.

Fowler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Fowler will receive a much-needed day off after going 0-for-19 with nine strikeouts over the past five games. With Fowler sitting, Kolten Wong will assume leadoff duties in the series finale.

Fowler will start in right field and bat leadoff Friday against the Braves.

Fowler had not batted higher than fifth entering Friday, but will get the chance to lead things off due to his .413 OBP and the struggles of Matt Carpenter. If Fowler can maintain his career-best 16.4 percent walk rate he seems like a good bet to stay at the top of the order for the near future, assuming this isn't a one-off lineup shakeup from manager Mike Shildt.

Fowler went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs during a win over the Royals in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Fowler's impressive display in the second game of the twin bill snapped a 1-for-18 skid that had encompassed his last six contests. The veteran outfielder is light years ahead of last season's career-worst numbers, as he's now slashing .283/.413/.441 across 155 plate appearances. Fowler's on-base percentage also qualifies as a career-best figure, while his average is his highest since his 2012 campaign with the Rockies.

Fowler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run to tie the game in the top of the ninth against the Rangers on Sunday.

Eventually, the Rangers won in extra innings, but Fowler's homer gave the Cardinals brief life. Fowler is hitting .273 and owns an impressive .405 on-base percentage, but he's featured little power this year (.405 slugging percentage with just three homers and 12 RBI). Fowler also has 18 runs and two steals on four attempts in 121 at-bats.
