Fermin (undisclosed) will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's contest versus the Giants.

4d agoRotowire

Fermin was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox with an undisclosed injury, and he did not see any action during Monday's series opener versus the Giants. However, the 27-year-old feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday as the Cardinals look to take the series.

Fermin was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox for unspecified reasons.

6d agoRotowire

Fermin was penciled in to start at second base before the Cardinals posted an updated lineup that excludes him. Masyn Winn entered the lineup in his place and is starting at shortstop, which pushes Thomas Saggese to second base.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

1w agoRotowire

Fermin is on the bench for a third straight game and looks like he'll be ticketed for a short-side platoon role in the St. Louis infield. The Cardinals have been prioritizing Bryan Torres, Thomas Saggese and Nolan Gorman ahead of Fermin against right-handed pitching while all of Masyn Winn (thumb), JJ Wetherholt (wrist) and Blaze Jordan (ankle) are on the injured list.

Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

2w agoRotowire

Fermin went 0-for-2 with a run scored Friday to snap what had been a modest four-game hitting streak, and he'll now get a chance to rest his legs while Bryan Torres starts at second base and bats leadoff.

Fermin is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Rockies on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

2w agoRotowire

Fermin will take a breather while Bryan Torres will start at second base and bat out of the leadoff spot. Fermin has gone 7-for-28 with two steals, one RBI and four runs scored over his last seven games.
