Paul DeJong sitting on Sunday night for Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Paul DeJong is out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

This will be DeJong's first game out of the lineup since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on June 15. He's gone 18-for-62 (.290) with five home runs in that 16-game stretch. Alex Mejia is starting at shortstop and Greg Garcia is on second base for the Cardinals.

numberFire's models project DeJong to record a .248 batting average in 122 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
