Donovan had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Padres due to a family emergency, but he has rejoined the Cardinals and is ready to go for Monday's series opener in Los Angeles. The All-Star has been scuffling at the plate lately,

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (personal) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Donovan was scratched from the lineup on Sunday due to a personal matter.

Alec Burleson has established himself as an everyday fixture in the lineup, and that's going to re-create a rotation elsewhere into the outfield until a teammate does the same.
