Power prospect O'Neill joins Cardinals, will bat third against Arizona

PHOENIX • The Cardinals' search for more production from right field has taken them from Dexter Fowler to Harrison Bader, from considering Jose Martinez to talking about getting more verve from the position, and then finally to this evening in the desert.

Fresh from Class AAA Memphis and called up to take Fowler's spot on the roster during his paternity leave, O'Neill will not just start in right field but move into the No. 3 spot in a lineup aching for consistency. And it's not just because the Cardinals are going righthanded heavy against Arizona lefty Robbie Ray.
