St. Louis Cardinals Scratch All-Star Second Baseman Brendan Donovan from Lineup Due to Injury
August 10 – The St. Louis Cardinals have made a last-minute change to their lineup for Saturday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. All-Star second baseman Brendan Donovan has been scratched due to tightness in his left groin.
Donovan, who was initially set to lead off for the Cardinals, will instead sit out as a precautionary measure, according to the team. This is a disappointing blow for the first-time All-Star, who has been a key player for the Cardinals this season.
With 115 hits and a .278 batting average, Donovan leads the team in both categories. He also has nine home runs and 43 RBIs to his name. However, his performance has dipped since the All-Star break, with a batting average of just .178 in 18 games.
The 28-year-old Donovan has been with the Cardinals for four years and has been a consistent contributor to the team’s success. In 481 games, he has a career batting average of .280 with 39 home runs and 195 RBIs.
Replacing Donovan at second base for today’s game will be Thomas Saggese. The Cardinals will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Donovan and his return to the lineup in the near future.
