St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta is not in the lineup for the Cardinals road clash with the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
It just seems to be a day of rest for Peralta, and Greg Garcia will start at shortstop and bat sixth.
Peralta is having a weak year from the dish in his 155 appearances at the plate, slashing .238/.271/.429 with a .297 wOBA that marks his worst since his sophomore season in 2004.
