ST. LOUIS -- Rookie Stephen Piscotty was scratched from the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup due to a stiff neck.
Dan Johnson replaces Piscotty playing first base and batting eighth against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night.
Piscotty was 2 for 8 with a double in two starts, the first appearances of his career since his contract was purchased from Triple A Memphis.
