St. Louis Cardinals infielder Edmundo Sosa (hand) is not starting in Thursday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves.
Sosa will sit against the Braves after his right hand was hit by a pitch on Wednesday. Expect Matt Carpenter to see more at-bats until Sosa is ready to return.
According to Baseball Savant on 81 batted balls this season, Sosa has produced a 3.7% barrel rate and a .237 expected average.
