Cardinals giving Stephen Piscotty (head) Wednesday's finale off

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty (head) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Piscotty made an early exit from Tuesday's contest after taking a throw to the ear flap of his helmet while trying to cross home plate. This came after he got hit by a pitch and was then struck in the elbow while running to second base, all in the same inning. Consider the 26-year-old outfielder to be day-to-day. Randal Grichuk will man right field and Matt Adams will start in left for St. Louis.

Piscotty is 1-for-4 so far this season, with two runs scored, three walks drawn and three strikeouts.
