Back in lineup Monday
Contreras (back) is in the lineup for Monday's game against Orioles, starting at first base and batting cleanup.
Analysis
A bout of back spasms kept Contreras out of the starting lineup for all three games over the weekend, but he reported improvement Sunday and is evidently feeling well to play in the series opener in Baltimore against right-hander Charlie Morton. The 33-year-old Contreras has six homers this year but has not produced to his usual levels so far, posting a .729 OPS through 49 games, matching his career low.

Aiming for return Monday
Contreras (back) may return to the Cardinals' lineup Monday versus the Orioles, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Contreras was once again sidelined for Sunday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks, missing his third straight game with back spasms. Manager Oli Marmol said following the contest that the catcher is doing "better" and that he hopes Contreras will start Monday's series opener in Baltimore. Considering Contreras was able to move around the field and take batting practice Sunday, he appears to be on track for a return to the lineup in the near future.

Sitting again Sunday
Contreras (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
Manager Oliver Marmol previously indicated that Contreras was expected to play Sunday, but the 33-year-old will instead sit for a third straight game due to back spasms. Alec Burleson will receive another start at first base for the Cardinals in Contreras' absence. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Contreras seemed to be moving around on the field prior to Sunday's game and was able to take some swings in the batting page, so the Cardinals are still seemingly viewing him as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Analysis
