Stephen Piscotty (head) not in Cardinals' lineup Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty (head) is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Piscotty wasn't going to play on Wednesday and the Cardinals are sticking with the same lineup they intended to use before the game was rained out. He's passed all concussion tests and will be available off the bench today before returning to the lineup Friday. Randal Grichuk is starting in right while Matt Adams mans left. Jedd Gyorko will also replace Jhonny Peralta at third.

numberFire's metrics project Piscotty to hit .271 with 18 home runs, 76 RBI's and 7 stolen bases over 580 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
