Activated from injured list
The Cardinals activated Church (shoulder) from the injured list Tuesday, Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest reports.
Analisi
After landing on the IL on May 22, Church will return to St. Louis having missed over two weeks of action. Before hitting the injured list, the 25-year-old slashed .247/.282/.390 with five homers and 18 RBI. St. Louis optioned Victor Scott in order to make room for Church, who will play center field and bat ninth for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Poised for activation Tuesday
Church (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analisi
It's the corresponding move for Victor Scott, who is headed to Triple-A Memphis. Church has been sidelined since late May with a left shoulder strain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games with Memphis. With Scott in the minors, Church is likely to see the bulk of the starts in center field for St. Louis, at least against right-handed pitching.

Could return Tuesday
Church (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analisi
Church started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He didn't fare particularly well in his two rehab games, going 0-for-6 with a strikeout, but the important thing for Church is that he emerged healthy after playing in Triple-A. It appears he's nearly fully recovered from a left shoulder strain that caused him to go on the 10-day IL in late May. Victor Scott's playing time will likely decrease once Church returns to the majors.
