    John Denton of MLB.com reports that Brendan Donovan lost his arbitration hearing against the Cardinals and will be paid $2.85 million in 2025.
    Donovan and his camp filed at $3.3 million. There were earlier reports that the 28-year-old was nearing an extension with the Cardinals back in January, and it’s unknown how this will affect — if at all — that possibility.

    MLB.com’s John Denton reported that Brendan Donovan and the Cardinals “are close to signing a multi-year deal.”
    The two sides are hoping to reach a deal before today’s deadline for teams and players to submit 2025 salaries for arbitration. Denton mentioned that the Cardinals “are handling Brendan Donovan much the way they did Tommy Edman last year.” Edman signed a two-year, $16.5M extension last season to avoid arbitration, so perhaps something similar is coming for Donovan.

    Brendan Donovan went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored, and two walks on Sunday against the Giants.
    Donovan was the Cardinals’ engine in this one. He homered in the third inning to break a 0-0 tie and then hit an RBI single in the fifth that started the domino effect to chase Giants’ starter Hayden Birdsong. Donovan wound up with a fine season as a full-time starter with 14 home runs and a .278/.342/.417 slash line.

    Brendan Donovan went 0-for-4 with a strikeout against the Guardians on Saturday.
    Donovan was hitting .373 in his last 17 games entering play Saturday. Maybe he was due for a hitless game, but he’s also hitting .265 with no home runs against left-handed pitching this year compared to .280 with 13 home runs against right-handed pitching. While the difference in average may seem negligible, with no home runs against left-handed pitching this year Donovan is tough to use in matchups against left-handed pitchers like Matthew Boyd on Saturday.

He added a base hit in the third, then drew a walk in the seventh before scoring on a double by Jordan Walker. The versatile 27-year-old is up to 13 homers, 63 runs scored, and 66 RBI while slashing .271/.338/.408 across 610 plate appearances.

    Brendan Donovan is not in the starting lineup for the Cardinals on Thursday against the Reds.
    Since Thomas Saggese was called up earlier this week, he has started every single game with the Cardinals rotating out another player in the lineup each game. One game Masyn Winn sat, the next game Lars Nootbaar sat, and now Brendan Donovan will sit. It’s a bit of a frustrating situation for fantasy managers because you’ll never know who will sit in which game.

    Brendan Donovan (foot) is leading off and playing second base Tuesday against the the Reds.
    Donovan has been out of action for the last few games while he deals with a foot infection. The 27-year-old may need to have some maintenance days as the season comes to a close, but he’s feeling well enough to hit at the top spot against Rhett Lowder and Cincinnati.

    Brendan Donovan (foot) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.
    There was some hope that Donovan could play Sunday after missing Saturday while dealing with an infection in his foot, but the Cardinals will give him at least one more day off. José Fermín again gets the start at second base in Donovan’s absence.

    Brendan Donovan is not in the lineup Saturday against the Mariners due to a foot infection.
    Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told reporters before Saturday’s game the infection makes it difficult for Donovan to put pressure on his foot. Marmol also did note that the team is considering Donovan day-to-day, and they’re hopeful Donovan can play Sunday in the series finale. José Fermín is starting at second base with Donovan unavailable.
