Tyler O'Neill closes in on a return to Cardinals' lineup; Dakota Hudson optioned to Memphis

JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals outfielder Tyler O’Neill remains out of the lineup for today’s game against the Washington Nationals at Roger Dean Stadium, but his return may only be a day away.

The Cardinals host the Nationals in a game slated for a 1:05 p.m. CT first pitch. Right-hander Jack Flaherty will be on the mound and could toss as many as six innings. It will be his first Grapefruit League start this spring against a team other than the Houston Astros.

During the game the Cardinals announced starting pitchers Dakota Hudson and Matthew Liberatore were optioned to Class-AAA Memphis.
