PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.—Most of the Cardinals’ regulars stayed behind Sunday as the club prepared to take on the double whammy of New York Mets aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer.
Dylan Carlson, Harrison Bader and Paul DeJong represent the normal lineup, with some of the others on the card fighting for survival, as far as being on the April 7 opening-day roster.
Among those are Nolan Gorman, two for 16, who is playing second base; Brendan Donovan, will be at shortstop, and, to a lesser degree, Juan Yepez, who will play first. Yepez would seem to have the best chance of those three to be on the club.
