O'Reilly is expected to miss at least six weeks with a broken foot.

The Blues placed O'Reilly on IR with a broken foot and said he would be re-evaluated in six weeks. Not only does O'Reilly's injury hurt this team in the short-term, but he's also one of St. Louis' big trade chips as we head into the second half of the season. In addition to O'Reilly, Vladimir Tarasenko is expected to miss four weeks with a hand injury.
