Kolten Wong out of Cardinals' Monday lineup

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman/center fielder Kolten Wong is not in Monday's lineup versus the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Not surprisingly, the left-handed Wong will ride the pine against Royals southpaw Danny Duffy. Tommy Pham will start in center field and bat ninth.

Wong's wOBA is down to .266 this year, but we project him to finish out the season with a .288 wOBA in 227 more plate appearances, with three more home runs and six more stolen bases.
