25 Dexter Fowler RF

Fowler will not need surgery on his broken left foot but will be forced to wear a boot for at least a month, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

That timeline leaves only a few weeks for Fowler's potential return. Whether or not he returns at all will depend on how quickly the foot recovers and potentially whether or not the Cardinals are still fighting for a playoff spot.

Fowler (foot) will be placed on the 10-day disabled list ahead of Saturday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Fowler was initially diagnosed with a bruise, but after further examination, it was found that he fractured his left foot. He'll likely be forced to sit out for longer than the minimum, although a more concrete timetable for his return should be given in the near future. Fowler's injury opens the door for Tyler O'Neill to see regular playing time in the outfield.

Fowler left Friday's game against the Pirates with a left foot contusion, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Fowler appears to have avoided a significant injury, and he'll be considered day-to-day moving forward. He'll likely be reevaluated Saturday after arriving to the ballpark. Expect Tyler O'Neill to draw the start in right field if Fowler can't go.

Fowler was removed from Friday's matchup against the Pirates after suffering a lower-body injury, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Fowler appeared to suffer the injury while running the bases, as he was in pain after making if safely to third. More news on the extent of the injury should be released shortly.

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

Fowler will receive a breather after starting the past 10 games, during which he's slashed just .200/.368/.333 with two RBI and two extra-base hits. In his absence, Tyler O'Neill will man right field and bat third.
