3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is out of the starting lineup Sunday against the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Kris Bubic. Rookie outfielder Lars Nootbaar is in right field and batting sixth, while Andrew Knizner is catching and hitting ninth for the Cards. DeJong, who is slashing .201/.288/.396 this season, was scratched from Saturday's lineup for undisclosed reasons, according to MLB.com. He's been a fantasy disappointment in 2021 but the career .243 hitter could perk up in the last month and half if he gets regular playing time. Check back for updates.--Josh Friedman
