The St. Louis Cardinals' bench is seeing some action on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, as a couple of the team's usual starters are getting the day off. First baseman Lance Berkman continues to nurse a calf injury, third baseman David Freese is out with a sore finger and center fielder Jon Jay is just getting some time to rest.
All three aren't in Mike Matheny's lineup for Sunday afternoon, which you can see below:
- Rafael Furcal, SS
- Tyler Greene, 2B
- Matt Holliday, LF
- Carlos Beltran, RF
- Yadier Molina, C
- Matt Carpenter, 1B
- Shane Robinson, CF
- Daniel Descalso, 3B
- Jake Westbrook, P
With Freese out of the lineup, Descalso is moving over from his usual spot at second base to the hot corner.
