The St. Louis Cardinals are making a notable change ahead of today’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After a disappointing series loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, where they were outscored 16-6, the Cardinals are looking to improve their hitting performance.
One change in the lineup is the absence of Nolan Gorman, who will be replaced by Brendan Donovan at second base, with Alec Burleson taking Donovan’s place in left field.
Gorman has struggled at the plate this season, batting .169 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 77 at-bats. Manager Oli Marmol is likely benching Gorman for the night to give him some rest, as there have been no reports of injury.
The Cardinals’ lineup has been a concern, as they have struggled to produce runs while the pitching staff has performed well. They are hoping that players like Gorman, Donovan, and Paul Goldschmidt will find their groove soon. Despite the slump, there is optimism that the team can turn things around with plenty of baseball left to play in the season.
