First pitch is scheduled for 8:45 p.m (CT) at Oracle Park
With Nolan Arenado not in the starting lineup on Monday for the first of a four-game series against San Francisco, the Cardinals’ infield will feature National League utility Gold Glove winner Brendan Donovan at third base. Donovan will bat seventh after he received off days on Saturday and Sunday.
The middle infield features a familiar tandem with Paul DeJong, who returned from the injured list on Sunday, at shortstop, and Tommy Edman starting at second base — the same position where he won a Gold Glove in 2021.
