Brandon Moss absent as Cardinals take on Milwaukee

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Brandon Moss is absent from the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

The assumption is this is a standard day of Maintenance for Moss. St. Louis will start Matt Carpenter at first and Tommy Pham in left field for the road matchup with Milwaukee.

Moss has been great from the dish this year, slashing .264/.335/.569 through 358 plate appearances, with a .375 wOBA that is his best since 2012 and a .305 ISO that is well above his .218 career average.
