Connor Wong - Steps out of lineup Wong is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.
Impact Wong is mired in a 1-for-17 slump and will head to the bench after starting the previous three games. Reese McGuire will take over at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's series finale.

Kiké Hernández - Not starting Sunday Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Hernandez started the last 11 games but will receive a day off after he posted a .460 OPS during that stretch. Pablo Reyes will take over at shortstop in Sunday's series finale versus St. Louis.

Paul DeJong - Garners sixth consecutive start DeJong will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact DeJong will stick in the lineup for a sixth consecutive game, with three of his starts coming against lefties and three coming versus righties. Over the previous five contests, DeJong has gone 5-for-17 with a home run and a stolen base, and that level of production might be enough for him to hold down a near-everyday role in the short term. Tommy Edman is sitting out for the Cardinals' second consecutive matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher and is slashing .163/.178/.279 dating back to April 28, so he could be at risk of moving into a short-side platoon role if St. Louis wants to open up more playing time in the middle infield for DeJong.

Tommy Edman - Sitting versus righty Sunday Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Though Edman served as the Cardinals' leadoff man in each of the past three games, all of those starts came with St. Louis facing left-handed pitchers. He'll now find himself on the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher and could be in danger of falling into a timeshare at either middle-infield spot with Brendan Donovan and Paul DeJong.

Juan Yepez - Heads to bench Yepez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Boston.
Impact After starting in each of the past three games while going 1-for-7 with a walk and a run scored, Yepez will cede left field to Brendan Donovan in the series finale. With Willson Contreras expected to transition back to full-time catching duties beginning with Monday's game against the Brewers, Donovan could end up shifting to second base, while Nolan Gorman steps in as St. Louis' primary designated hitter. Assuming that's the case, Yepez could still have a path to seeing regular playing time in left field, though perhaps in the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Alec Burleson.
