Dexter Fowler will make his first appearance in the leadoff spot Friday night against Atlanta and Matt Carpenter will hit fifth at Busch Stadium.
Manager Mike Shildt hopes to take advantage of Fowler's team-leading .413 on-base percentage. Carpenter is at .324 with a .203 batting average and is not at the top of the order for the first time in a game he has started.
Harrison Bader will play in center field and bat ninth with Jose Martinez getting the night off.
