  • 66-41-3 1st Place
    • Sitting as expected
      Arenado (elbow) isn't in the starting lineup Thursday against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Arenado said Wednesday that he's aiming to return to the Cardinals' lineup Saturday, so his absence from Thursday's starting nine hardly comes as a surprise. Brandon Crawford will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh while Arenado continues to recover. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:49 am
       
    • Cardinals say Arenado has right elbow contusion
      The Cardinals said Nolan Arenado has a right elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch Wednesday.

      Advice: That doesn’t mean much at this point, since he’s still undergoing tests. It certainly didn’t look good when it happened. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:05 pm
       
    • Nolan Arenado exits after taking pitch off right elbow
      Nolan Arenado left Wednesday’s game against the Marlins after being hit on the right elbow by a pitch.

      Advice: Arenado was still in a whole lot of pain and not moving his arm as he was helped off. José Fermín replaced him in the contest. If Arenado goes on the IL, Fermín would stand to benefit, but the Cardinals could also give Brandon Donovan more infield time. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:49 am
       
    • Getting day off
      Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Vierling had made 13 consecutive starts and the Tigers are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so the 27-year-old is presumably just getting some routine maintenance. With Vierling on the bench, the Tigers will open up a spot in the starting outfield for Akil Baddoo, who will man left and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:51 am

    • Absent from Cubs lineup
      Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Morel has only one hit over his last five games and tough right-hander Logan Webb will take the ball Tuesday for San Francisco, so it's a sensible spot for a day off. David Bote is getting the call at third base while Morel regroups. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:59 pm
       
    • Goes deep in win
      Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Vierling has homered twice over his last four contests, though both were solo shots that represent his only RBI since May 29. The outfielder is batting a modest .196 (10-for-51) over 12 contests in June, though he's still often hitting in the top third of the Tigers' lineup. Vierling is at a .266/.305/.468 slash line with nine homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, four triples and no stolen bases through 63 games this year. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:29 pm
