St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Magneuris Sierra is in the lineup on Friday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs.
Sierra will be starting in left field in place of Tommy Pham and batting eighth against Cubs' righty John Lackey. He was recalled from Double-A Springfield to fill in for Jedd Gyorko (paternity), who is set to return Sunday after tending to the birth of his first daughter.
Sierra has only made 32 plate appearances so far in his rookie season, slashing .367/.406/.367 with a .345 wOBA.
